I came to Louise in desperate need of help with my IELTS exam, as I needed a high score for my master's application. From our first lesson, she impressed me with her in-depth knowledge of the exam format and scoring criteria. Louise quickly assessed my weaknesses and designed targeted exercises for each section. Her detailed feedback on my writing samples was particularly valuable – she has an extraordinary ability to identify patterns in my mistakes. Thanks to her guidance, I achieved an overall band score of 7.5, exceeding the requirements for my dream university! Beyond the score, I've gained writing and speaking skills that will serve me throughout my academic career.

- Learn English alone
Why Learning English Alone is a Challenge?
Many people start learning English on their own - they download apps, watch YouTube videos, read books and articles, and hope that will be enough to reach a good level. And indeed, there are many excellent resources out there, and learning on your own can be a great way to start. But most people who try to learn English completely alone eventually discover there are some significant problems that are difficult to overcome. The biggest problem is the lack of feedback - there's no one to tell you if you're pronouncing correctly, if the sentence you wrote sounds natural, or if you're using the right word in the right context.
When you learn alone, you also don't know what you don't know. You might repeat the same mistakes over and over without noticing, learn things that aren't really relevant to your goals, or miss important points that could have advanced you much faster. You don't have someone planning the learning path in a structured and tailored way, no one challenging you to step out of your comfort zone, and no one who can explain things that are difficult to understand just from reading or watching.
Another significant problem is motivation and consistency. Without commitment to someone else, it's very easy to postpone studying until "tomorrow," skip days, and eventually give up entirely. Research shows that most people who start learning a language alone quit within just a few months. It's not because of lack of talent - it's because it's hard to stay disciplined and motivated without external support, without clear goals, and without someone tracking your progress.
Main Challenges in Self-Study:
- Lack of immediate feedback - no one to correct your mistakes in pronunciation, grammar, or word usage
- Difficulty practicing conversation - you can't really practice speaking without a conversation partner
- Don't know what to study - hard to know where to focus and what material is most relevant
- Repeating mistakes - without someone correcting you, you reinforce wrong habits
- Lack of structure - difficult to create a logical and progressive curriculum
- Motivation problems - easy to postpone and quit when there's no commitment
- Difficulties with questions - when something isn't clear, there's no one to turn to in real-time
- Difficulty measuring progress - hard to know if you're actually improving
- Loneliness - learning alone can be boring and isolating
Individual Learning - The Best Way to Learn "Alone"
When people say they want to learn English "alone," what they usually mean is that they don't want to be in a large classroom with dozens of people, where they have to wait for their turn, adjust to others' pace, and sometimes feel embarrassed making mistakes in front of everyone. And that makes complete sense - many people prefer privacy, control over their learning pace, and the opportunity to focus exactly on what matters to them. The good news is that private one-on-one lessons give you exactly that - you're "alone" in the sense that it's just you and the teacher, but with all the advantages of professional guidance.
In a one-on-one lesson, it really is just you and the teacher. You don't need to feel embarrassed, there's no pressure to compare yourself to others, and there's no need to wait for your turn. Every minute of the lesson belongs to you - every question you have gets answered, every mistake you make gets corrected, and every topic that interests you or is relevant to you receives full attention. It's like learning alone, but with a personal guide who ensures you're going in the right direction and progressing in the most effective way.
This format is perfect for those seeking independence but not isolation. You set the schedule, the frequency of lessons, and the topics that matter to you - but you're not left alone with questions, doubts, and mistakes. You have someone who supports you, encourages you, tracks your progress, and ensures you actually reach your goals. It's the best way to combine the advantages of self-study with the benefits of professional guidance.
Comparison: Different Learning Methods
| Criterion | Full Self-Study | Group Classes | One-on-One Lessons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal attention | None | Little (divided among many) | 100% of teacher's time |
| Learning pace | Up to you | Fixed according to group | Adapted to you personally |
| Privacy | Complete | None (learning with others) | Complete (just you and teacher) |
| Feedback and corrections | None | Limited | Immediate and detailed |
| Schedule flexibility | Complete | Limited to class times | Flexible by arrangement |
| Customized curriculum | You choose (not always right) | Fixed for everyone | Tailored to your goals |
| Motivation | Hard to maintain | Group-based but not personal | Personal support and accountability |
| Cost | Low (materials only) | Medium | Higher but efficient |
| Effectiveness | Depends on discipline | Medium | Highest |
How to Maintain Motivation and Consistency in Self-Study?
One of the biggest challenges in learning any language - especially when learning independently - is maintaining motivation over time. At the beginning there's enthusiasm, energy, and willingness to invest. But after a few weeks or months, when progress becomes slower, when it gets harder, and when daily life takes attention away - it's very easy to lose motivation. Many people start with passion and find themselves fading and stopping after a short time.
The secret to maintaining motivation is a combination of several things: clear and measurable goals, sense of progress, accountability to someone, and a feeling of small but consistent success. When you're learning completely alone, it's very difficult to create all of this. But when you have a personal teacher, they become your partner in this journey. They help you define realistic goals, celebrate every small success with you, encourage you when it's hard, and create a sense of commitment that keeps you going even when motivation fades.
The teacher also helps you maintain consistency - one of the critical factors for success in language learning. When you have a fixed lesson on the calendar, there's a much higher chance you'll show up and study. It's like the gym - it's much easier to show up when you have a personal trainer waiting for you than when you need to find motivation on your own. Regular lessons create a habit, and the teacher helps you not only during the lesson but also by giving tasks and assignments that ensure you continue progressing between lessons.
Strategies for Maintaining Motivation - and How a Teacher Helps:
- Setting clear goals - the teacher helps define specific, measurable, and realistic objectives
- Tracking progress - the teacher documents progress and shows you how you've improved
- Accountability - knowing someone expects you at the lesson keeps you from quitting
- Sense of achievement - the teacher identifies successes and reinforces them, even when small
- Variety - the teacher changes lesson styles so it doesn't get boring
- Personal relevance - the teacher adapts material to what actually interests you
- Emotional support - the teacher encourages on difficult days and helps cope with frustration
- Regular routine - fixed lessons create a habit that's easier to maintain
- Celebrating milestones - the teacher identifies and marks important achievements along the way
Individual Learning with a Teacher - The Benefits of "Alone But Not Lonely"
The format of private one-on-one lessons offers the best of both worlds: you get the independence, privacy, and flexibility of learning alone, but without the disadvantages of isolation, lack of guidance, and difficulty maintaining motivation. It's "alone" in the sense that there's no group, no social pressure, and you have complete control over the pace and direction of learning - but it's "not alone" in the sense that you have a professional guide by your side at every step.
With a private teacher you get all the attention you need. Every question gets an immediate answer, every mistake gets corrected in real-time, and every topic that interests you or is relevant to your goals gets the space it deserves in the lesson. There's no need to wait for your turn or postpone a question because it's not relevant to the rest of the group. The teacher gets to know you - your strengths and weaknesses, your learning style, and your goals - and builds lessons in a way that fits you exactly.
The flexibility is enormous - you choose the teacher that suits you (accent, personality, specialization), set times that work for you, and decide on lesson frequency. Want to study three times a week because you're on a tight schedule? Possible. Want to study only once a week because you're busy? That's fine too. Need to focus on a specific topic like preparing for a job interview or improving pronunciation? The teacher will adapt lessons to what you need. This is the level of personalization you simply can't get in other formats.
Main Advantages of One-on-One Learning:
- Complete privacy - learning in a safe environment without fear of others' judgment
- 100% attention - every minute of the lesson is dedicated only to you and your needs
- Perfect match - content, pace, and style personally adapted to who you are
- Maximum flexibility - times, frequency, and topics according to your choice
- Immediate feedback - every mistake is corrected in real-time and you learn correctly from the start
- Ability to ask any question - there are no "stupid" questions and no need to be embarrassed
- Faster progress - more efficient learning = faster results
- Teacher selection - find the perfect match for your personality and needs
- Building personal connection - the teacher gets to know you and can support authentically
- No long-term commitment - can change teachers or stop if needed
