THE BENEFITS OF ONE-TO-ONE CLASS

The course covers both reading and speaking as important English skills. Reading gives students the opportunity to learn new vocabulary words and appreciate various kinds of English texts (fiction or non-fiction). Speaking allows students to practice their acquired English learning and handle daily conversational situations.

Comprehension & Conversational English provides lessons on:

new vocabulary word acquisition
reading comprehension strategies
survival English words and phrases
useful English sayings and idioms
expressing one’s thoughts and opinions on real-life issues or topics

Unlike the regular group class setup, one-to-one classes have become more and more popular especially in language schools. Ever wondered why a lot of students and parents prefer them? For one, these classes allow personalized and more focused lessons. Yet, one-to-one classes are more than this fact. Classes should not only be beneficial for the student, but also for the teacher.

STUDENT-CENTERED

One-to-One teaching means the student does not have to share the teacher with others. The teacher’s objective is to cater to what the student needs (be it better grammatical or speaking skills). By connecting to the student's interests and experiences, the teacher enables a comfortable learning environment and foster better student comprehension.

PERSONALIZED

Likewise, student evaluation becomes easier, more manageable. There is only one consideration because of the limited number of students. A student does not need to catch up with the lessons discussed during his or her absence. Learning is made at the student’s own pace. Class standards can be easily modified depending on what is expected from the student after a certain period.

EFFECTIVE

Focused learning creates faster improvement because the full attention of the teacher is given to the student. Good results are attained after a short period as each session is reserved only for productive learning, thereby not wasting the student’s time.

Comprehension & Conversational English

Learning a language needs knowing what word and expression to use at a specific situation. Just like English, mastery of the words and their uses is very important. All English skills need knowledge of enough vocabulary words.
