Questions about learning English
How can I improve my spoken English fast?
Speak every week with a real person, and prepare for it: a regular slot with a tutor, a list of phrases you want to use, and feedback on the mistakes you repeat. Listening alone rarely makes you fluent.
Which English exam should I take?
The one your university, employer or visa office asks for. IELTS and TOEFL are the most widely requested for study, Cambridge English exams are common in Europe, and some institutions accept the Duolingo English Test.
Do I need a native English tutor?
Not always. A non-native tutor who teaches clearly can be better for beginners. For accent work, idioms or advanced conversation, a native speaker is a plus.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
On Preply, each tutor sets their own rate. Third-party guides report most general lessons around $10–25 an hour in 2026; exam and business specialists often charge more.
Can I learn English online with a tutor if I am a complete beginner?
Yes. Filter for tutors who teach beginners and speak slowly, and say in your first message that you are starting from zero.
