Why learn English on Zoom?

Many people find the most challenging aspect of learning to speak English is mastering pronunciation and accent. English features a variety of sounds and intonations that can be difficult for non-native speakers to produce accurately. This difficulty is compounded by the language’s irregular spelling and pronunciation rules, which require regular practice to learn. Correctly using idiomatic expressions and slang is important for natural speech but can be difficult as these often do not translate directly and require a deeper understanding of English culture and context.

Zoom has revolutionized learning English by providing convenient and interactive virtual classrooms where students can connect with native-speaking tutors, perfect their accent, engage in real-time conversations, and develop a much better understanding of grammar, culture and how English idioms and phrases are used correctly in conversation.

  • Pass English Proficiency Exams: Practice for English language tests such as IELTS (International English Language Testing System), TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), Cambridge English Exams, the PTE Academic test and TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication).
  • Cultural Exchange: Learning with a native speaker provides more than just linguistic skills; it offers cultural insights as well. Gain exposure to the culture, customs, and idiomatic expressions of English speakers, enriching the learning experience and helping you understand the context in which the language is used.
  • Interactive Learning Environment: Zoom English classes leverage the platform’s video and audio capabilities. Built in features, such as screen sharing enhance the learning experience, making it easy to practice English speaking skills through discussion, role-plays, and interactive methods which build your confidence.
  • Personalized Feedback and Support: Get rapid feedback from your teacher. Your tutor can address common errors, offer suggestions for improvement, and tailor practice exercises to your individual needs. Personalized support helps learners overcome learning obstacles quickly and effectively.
  • Focus on Speaking Skills: One of the biggest challenges in learning English is building confidence in speaking. English lessons via Zoom for adults and children provide the perfect way to practice speaking, helping you become more fluent and comfortable in holding conversations with natural speakers.
  • Access to Diverse Learning Materials: Tutors can share a wide range of digital resources during lessons, including videos, articles, and interactive exercises. This access to diverse learning materials supports different learning styles for both visual and auditory learners keeping lessons interesting and reinforcing learning.
  • Convenience and Flexibility: One of the primary advantages of studying English online is convenience. You can take your lessons from any location and fit your English classes around work, study, or personal commitments, making it easy to stay motivated on your path to becoming fluent.
  • Cost-Effective Tuition: Online English lessons using Zoom can often be more affordable than in-person classes. You save on transportation costs and can access a wide range of tutors at competitive rates. Many teachers also offer trial lessons and loyalty discounts, allowing you to take classes that fit your budget.

Common questions about Zoom English lessons

What do I need to get started?

Before you can get started with your English classes, you'll need the following hardware and software:

  • Hardware:
    • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
    • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
    • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
    • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor and any other participants clearly.
    • Stable internet connection, with a minimum speed of 1.5 Mbps for both upload and download, though higher speeds are recommended for better quality.
  • Software:
    • The latest version of the application installed on your device, which is available for free.
    • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
    • An up-to-date web browser if you choose to use the web client version (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge are recommended).
    • Optional: Additional software for note-taking or document collaboration if needed for your lessons.
Are English lessons on Zoom the same as in person classes?

Learning to speak English using a video conferencing platform mirrors an in-person class in many ways. Both formats offer personalized tuition, allowing the teacher to focus exclusively on your learning needs. Real-time conversation practice, immediate feedback, and tailored exercises, are integral parts of both settings and the platform's video and audio capabilities enable face-to-face interaction similar to that of a traditional classroom environment, so once you've settled into your lesson you won't notice the difference.

There are some real advantages to virtual English lessons. Zoom offers greater flexibility and convenience, as learners can join sessions from any location, which is perfect if you travel but want continuity in your learning. The digital format also allows for a variety of multimedia resources to be seamlessly integrated into your lessons, enhancing the learning experience with videos, interactive whiteboards, and file sharing. This interactive approach makes it a really immersive environment and an effective tool to learn English from the comfort of your home or work.

How are Zoom English classes structured?

One of the main reasons people love our English lessons is that you can discuss your goals with your teacher and structure the content of your classes to focus on your individual areas of weakness or work towards a specific goal.

For a beginner, your class might focus around basic vocabulary, simple sentence structures, and essential grammar rules. Your tutor might use visual aids, interactive exercises, and repetition to reinforce new concepts. All our classes place emphasis on improving English speaking skills through guided conversation practice, ensuring you gain confidence in talking right from the start.

For intermediate and advanced learners, your classes might focus on more complex grammar, idiomatic expressions, and fluent conversation practice. Lessons could include reading and analyzing longer texts, engaging in discussions on various topics of your choice, and writing assignments to improve comprehension and accuracy. Advanced learners might also work on specific goals, such as business communication or practicing for official English proficiency exams to gain accreditation of your fluency in English.

How much do lessons cost?

Online classes tend to be cheaper than an equivalent in person lesson. Both you and your teacher save on travel costs and as a student you can choose a teacher that matches your budget.

Typically virtual English lessons will cost between $20 USD to $40 USD per session and can depend upon the qualifications of the teacher, their experience and whether or not they are a native speaker. As you would expect, the more qualified the teacher, the higher the price may be.
