How do I know if I need an English as Second Language tutor?

You might benefit from having an English as Second Language tutor if you’re having difficulty with various concepts or formulas, get constantly frustrated with English as Second Language homework, or when your grades start falling behind. On top of that, having 1-on-1 tutoring sessions with an English as Second Language tutor can help you to regain confidence and get back on track.

How to choose an online English as Second Language tutor?

As you look over the list of online English as Second Language tutors, pay close attention to the qualifications indicated on their profiles. From their profile descriptions to their education and work experiences to reviews from other students or parents, having considered these factors will help you choose an online English as Second Language tutor that best suits your needs.

What questions should I ask an English as Second Language tutor during the first meeting?

Common goals of hiring an English as Second Language tutor are: to improve grades, simplify abstract concepts or complex notions and prepare for exams. Therefore, it’s important to ask your tutor questions, such as the process they use to help students they’ve worked with in the past; if they are familiar with your school’s curriculum; and how long they are willing to commit to helping you with your English as Second Language class. You may get back on track after a couple of tutoring sessions or may need long-term help that could require a tutor staying with you the entire school year - this could also be discussed with them during the first meeting.

How much does an English as Second Language tutor cost?

The price of a private in-person or online English as Second Language tutor is set by each individual tutor. English as Second Language tutor prices differ due to several different variables, including experience, university levels (ex. Ph.D. candidate vs graduate student vs bachelor’s degree vs undergraduate degree), demand, and teaching experience. No matter your budget, finding an experienced English as Second Language tutor to help you with any English as Second Language problem is easy with TutorOcean.

The TutorOcean platform is a secure private learning environment that is accessible anywhere in the world where a reliable internet connection is available providing the ultimate tutoring experience. It also includes powerful features like a virtual whiteboard and video chat capabilities to facilitate a face-to-face study experience without the headache of a commute. Perhaps most importantly, our Live Learning Platform records every study session so that you can build up a comprehensive review library over time.

Are English as Second Language tutors worth it?

Studies suggest that as many as eight out of 10 students can potentially benefit from private instruction, including children who are high-achievers. Not only can private 1-on-1 tutoring online or in-person help foster a deeper understanding of key concepts, but students can also be taught broader study skills that will be very useful in later school levels even into high school and college/university classes. The only way to truly discover the benefit of a private English as Second Language tutor is to try a tutoring service for yourself. Take your time to meet several tutors to ensure you find the right fit, especially with regard to matching teaching and learning styles.

How can a tutor help me master English as Second Language?

An English as Second Language tutor can help you to recall more than just concepts of English as Second Language, but to put that knowledge to use. A private tutor can help you to connect what you’re learning in school (at any grade level) with what you see and experience in your daily life.

Reading and Writing are What I Love And Teach!

I am a passionate logophile, who loves nothing better than to discuss and teach grammar and literature with people. Learning parts of speech, sentence structure, and composition techniques doesn't have to be a stressful undertaking! I can remove the panic and frustration from your battle with words and turn your studies into an interesting, if not fascinating journey of discovering the power of writing. When I'm not scribbling down story ideas or reading countless books, I enjoy playing mandolin or hanging out with my Muscovy ducks. I enjoy teaching grammar, English, ESL, literature, as well as other related subjects for grades K-12. PLEASE NO ADULT OR COLLEGE STUDENTS. Please note! I will not accept requests for assignment help where a student asks me to write his or her entire essay, response to literature, or any other written work. I will write alongside or do revision/ final draft work on students' projects. However, to give a pupil a finished product that came 100% from my pen only is professionally and ethically wrong in my viewpoint. I am a teacher and peer reviewer, not a writer for hire or an accomplice to plagiarism. Thanks!

My tutoring experience has been short but I have worked with kids as young as 5 to students in universities. My main expertise is in STEM subjects but I can also teach English. I like to work with the students to help them understand the concepts rather than giving them long lectures. Outside of work, I am interested in playing chess, hiking, and art.
