Online tutoring with American English speakers
Students of any level can chat one-on-one with American teenagers to work on the more practical applications of learning a language: speaking and listening.
Why this choose approach?
01
Different than school classes
Chances are, students are in larger classes when learning English and aren't able to receive the attention necessary to become a fluent speaker. Speak Easy offers personalized classes that don't focus as much on writing and grammar (which is already taught in school and in other tutoring classes), and instead, the lessons are taught through conversations and activities. With one-on-one lessons, students are able to truly immerse themselves in the language.
02
Taught by students
As students themselves, the teachers know how to maximize learning and teach in ways that are fun and helpful. The young teachers are able to relate to their students and engage in thoughtful conversations. They help students to feel less worried about making mistakes and therefore allow them to grow as leaners.
03
Practice makes perfect
Speak Easy follows this mantra closely, and essentially, it is the inspiration for the whole concept. Research shows that immersion is the most effective way of learning a language, and it reflects the learning style that allows young children pick up languages so easily. Speaking moves the language from the student's "slow memory" to their "quick memory," creating a more fluent language learner. That is why with Speak Easy, conversational lessons are so beneficial to students.
04
Pricing
Speak Easy wants learning languages to be accessible for everyone, especially children. Because of this, the cost per session is much cheaper than most tutoring classes. In general, tutoring classes cost between €40 and €80 per hour, which makes it hard to continuously support students and their education. Speak Easy's main goal is to help students succeed, and that is why we charge a fraction of the price, allowing people from all incomes to have access to language learning.
Additional Information
It is important to note before beginning that our student teachers know a limited amount, if not none, of the language being taught. This does not mean that beginners cannot take these classes, but it should be known that the sessions are more of an immersive experience, rather than traditional tutoring classes.
