What does a private English lesson include?
A private English lesson on Language.online is much more than just a conversation with a native speaker. Each lesson is structured and professional, with clear objectives and a format designed to ensure real progress. Typically, a lesson begins with a short warm-up—a light conversation to get into the flow and review material from the previous lesson. Then you move on to new content, which may include grammar points, new vocabulary, a specific scenario, or focused skill practice.
The core of the lesson is active practice. The tutor does not just explain—they get you using the language: speaking, writing, forming sentences, and practicing dialogues. This may include role plays (such as a job interview or business meeting simulation), discussions on interesting topics, reading and analyzing texts, or practical exercises. The tutor provides immediate feedback—correcting mistakes, suggesting better phrasing, and explaining why something sounds unnatural.
Most importantly, the lesson is fully tailored to you. If you struggle with a topic, the tutor will spend more time on it. If something is easy for you, you move forward faster. If you need help with a work-related task, the tutor prepares customized materials. Whether you prefer structured, focused lessons or free-flowing conversation practice, the tutor adapts accordingly. This level of flexibility and personalization is something only a private tutor can offer.
A private lesson may include:
- Free conversation – practicing spontaneous speaking on topics that interest you
- Grammar points – clear explanations and practice of relevant grammar rules
- New vocabulary – learning words and expressions aligned with your goals
- Pronunciation and accent practice – improving accuracy and clarity
- Reading and discussion – expanding knowledge through engaging texts
- Writing and editing – writing practice with detailed feedback
- Exam preparation – strategies, practice, and focused feedback
- Professional English – terminology and scenarios related to your field
- Real-life simulations – interviews, presentations, business meetings
- Games and activities – fun, interactive ways to learn
- Personalized materials – exercises and tasks created specifically for you
