Find the best ESL tutors in Houston

All those who are not born speaking English, may experience various kinds of difficulties with studying or employment in the United States. For example, to enter an American college or university, you need a certificate of one of the international exams in English with a certain good score, often above average. Only spoken English may not be enough for maximum comfort of life.

ESL is necessary for both children and adults planning to get an education and build a career in the United States or another English-speaking country.

Why hiring a private tutor is the best way to improve your English?

You can develop your English skills in several ways:

• self-study (books, video lessons, grammars, dictionaries, podcasts, educational sites and applications);
• studying with a mentor (group courses, tutors, schools/universities).

Studying with a teacher is undeniably effective. And self-study is a mandatory component of any educational process. It can hardly be considered the main method of obtaining knowledge. Since you become a teacher for yourself, you are not an expert in an industry. 

Classes with a teacher can be either group or individual. Group classes have several major drawbacks. This is the impossibility of a teacher to pay enough attention to each student and the limited time of classes in general.

It turns out that one-on-one classes with a tutor are the most profitable. After all, no one and nothing distracts you, and a teacher selects educational materials and methods specifically for you.

How much do private English classes cost in Houston?

The price is determined directly by a tutor, who takes into account the average market prices and standard of living in a particular state. At the same time, a teacher also proceeds from her/his own professional experience, education and achievements, the complexity of educational programs and methods.

The average cost of a private ESL lesson in Houston is about $34 per hour. This applies to both offline and online classes. The following table will help you compare Houston’s price with other US cities.

How to find the best English teacher in Houston?

Demand and supply are very high, but it only means that there are a lot of incompetent specialists. And to avoid finding such a specialist, it is better to use a tutoring site with a good rating.
