PRIVATE ENGLISH COURSE OUTLINE:
- Prime Horizons teaches American English, not UK English. American English is by far the most used and accepted English dialect in the world. However, learning American English will also make you knowledgeable in UK English as well. They are nearly identical.
- Your teacher will discover your English level and if necessary, for the first two classes or as needed, concentrate on the following:
- The English Alphabet. It may seem far too basic and that would be your first mistake. The alphabet is the key to all words in the English language. If you can't speak and understand the English alphabet correctly, you'll never come close to being English fluent.
- BASIC ENGLISH MISTAKES
- So, in the beginning you'll be tested on your ability to correctly pronounce the following English sounds:
- TH sound such as They, Them, Those, The, That, etc.
- L sound at the begriming or inside a word such as , Little, Love, Let, Sleep, Pool, Fool, etc.
- R sound such a Ready, Vibrate, Store, Fork, Bird, Cart, Where, etc.
- Pronunciation of the last letter of most English words such as About. Mistakes on this word in massive and makes it difficult to understand the speaker.
Your teacher will happily work with you until your troubled letters and words have been corrected. Teachers love to correct so please feel free to make lots of mistakes as that is the main way you learn.
Each slight mistake ads to the total or difficult understanding of the speaker. That's why it's critically important for your teacher to test your ability to for each letter of the alphabet and the more difficult letter sounds before you move forward.
Granted, some students may have mastered these beginner issues but over 90% of people needing English lessons, even advanced English students, suffer from this problem, even Americans. Many believe the alphabet is for children and they skip mastering the alphabet. If you begin your lessons with errors, mistakes will only multiply as your English class attempts to progress. It's crucial that your teacher correct any pronunciation mistakes or they could be with you forever.
As you become more relaxed, your teacher will engage you in the following exercises:
- Use English to better introduce yourself
- Describing how you are feeling

Parents are welcome to attend private classes with their child but please stay in the background and when necessary, assist your young student. Our teachers are friendly but firm about teaching. It takes concentration and lots of experience and especially knowledge of English and teaching techniques on a one on one basis. Teachers not only teach English but do their best to make the students of all ages comfortable so that the learning process can be enjoyable as well as beneficial and productive.
In other words, students should be serious about learning English.
The teacher needs to get you to speak to better correct your English and help to give you more confidence and experience. Listening is all important as well as speaking.
TEACHER'S EXPERIENCE
Each teacher has a minimum of a bachelor's degree or experience with a teaching certificate of TESOL, TEFL, CELTA or equivalent and has carefully been screened by our intake specialists and not just their credentials but their demeanor and attitude.
Private lessons require that the student (and teacher) both use a private room without background noise. However, the teacher will provide this requirement so concentration is much easier.
If you miss a class there is generally no approved way to make up the class. However, the decision is up to the teacher. |
