basketball and gardening are two of my favorite outdoor activities. Because I think that physical health and balance are important, I always encourage my students to take pauses and do things that help their bodies and minds go back to normal. Through my participation in a book club, I read books on science, math, and education. This pastime helps me learn new things and broadens my understanding, which benefits my ability to teach.

Completing this course prepared me with the practical skills needed to teach English as a foreign langauge to students of all levels. Since then, I have worked in a secondary school in Madrid and a primary school in Seville as an English Language Assistant. Along side this work I would give private classes to teachers, students and parents looking to improve their English language skills. Additionally, I worked for British Youth International College, an online tutoring platform for young British learners who need extra help with writing, reading, spelling and speaking skills.

Your guide to learning ESL (English as a second language)
All about ESL learning
English is the most widely spoken language globally, with 1.5 billion English speakers worldwide (Ethnologue Report). Mastering English through ESL classes can open doors to better job opportunities, university admissions, and smoother travel experiences. Many companies require English proficiency for international roles, and standardized tests like TOEFL, IELTS, and Cambridge English exams measure fluency for work and study abroad.
There are different ways to learn English as a second language. Self-study through ESL apps like Duolingo and Babbel can help build vocabulary, while YouTube tutorials and podcasts improve listening skills. ESL lessons and language exchange programs provide structured practice. Watching English movies, reading books, and joining ESL conversation groups also help develop fluency.
For those who need personalized ESL learning, working with a private ESL tutor ensures faster progress. An ESL tutor can help with pronunciation, grammar, and exam preparation, making ESL lessons more effective. Choosing the right ESL learning method depends on your goals, current proficiency level, and preferred learning style.
Who should study with an ESL tutor?
Struggling with pronunciation and speaking fluency
Many ESL learners find pronunciation, accents, and fluency difficult. Studies show that over 65% of ESL learners struggle with pronunciation (British Council Report). A private ESL tutor can provide real-time corrections, accent reduction techniques, and one-on-one speaking practice to build confidence in conversations.
Preparing for TOEFL, IELTS, or business English
If you’re taking TOEFL, IELTS, or workplace communication tests, structured ESL lessons can help improve your writing, speaking, and listening comprehension skills. Research shows that students who receive targeted ESL tutoring score 20-30% higher (ETS Report). An ESL tutor can provide practice tests, writing feedback, and speaking drills to boost your exam performance.
Learning English for work, travel, or study abroad
If you're relocating to an English-speaking country, strong language skills are essential. Whether you're preparing for a job interview, university coursework, or everyday conversations, working with a private ESL tutor can help you practice real-world English scenarios, idioms, and cultural nuances to improve communication.
How to choose an ESL tutor?
Experience in language teaching and certifications
Look for an ESL tutor with at least 2 years of ESL teaching experience. Tutors with certifications like TESOL, TEFL, or CELTA are trained in language acquisition methods and provide structured ESL lessons. If you need TOEFL or IELTS preparation, choosing an ESL tutor with experience in exam coaching will help you develop a strong strategy.
Affordability and charges
ESL classes vary in pricing based on the tutor’s experience and the lesson focus:
- For general ESL lessons (grammar, conversation, and vocabulary), rates range from $20 to $50 per hour.
- For advanced ESL classes (business English, TOEFL/IELTS prep, and accent training), expert tutors charge $60 to $120 per hour.
Wiingy offers affordable 1-on-1 ESL tutoring at just $28 per session, making expert ESL lessons accessible and budget-friendly.
Reviews, teaching methods, and trial lessons
A 4+ star-rated ESL tutor with strong student reviews is a great choice. Look for ESL tutors who offer interactive ESL classes, conversation-based learning, and pronunciation correction. Before committing, ask for a trial ESL lesson to evaluate the tutor’s teaching style, clarity, and ability to personalize lessons for your needs.
