Question 1

How do I know if I need a TEFL tutor?

Accepted Answer

You might benefit from having a TEFL tutor if you’re having difficulty with various concepts or formulas, get constantly frustrated with TEFL homework, or when your grades start falling behind. On top of that, having 1-on-1 tutoring sessions with a TEFL tutor can help you to regain confidence and get back on track.

Question 2

How to choose an online TEFL tutor?

Accepted Answer

As you look over the list of online TEFL tutors, pay close attention to the qualifications indicated on their profiles. From their profile descriptions to their education and work experiences to reviews from other students or parents, having considered these factors will help you choose an online TEFL tutor that best suits your needs.

Question 3

What questions should I ask a TEFL tutor during the first meeting?

Accepted Answer

Common goals of hiring a TEFL tutor are: to improve grades, simplify abstract concepts or complex notions and prepare for exams. Therefore, it’s important to ask your tutor questions, such as the process they use to help students they’ve worked with in the past; if they are familiar with your school’s curriculum; and how long they are willing to commit to helping you with your TEFL class. You may get back on track after a couple of tutoring sessions or may need long-term help that could require a tutor staying with you the entire school year - this could also be discussed with them during the first meeting.

Question 4

How much does a TEFL tutor cost?

Accepted Answer

The price of a private in-person or online TEFL tutor is set by each individual tutor. TEFL tutor prices differ due to several different variables, including experience, university levels (ex. Ph.D. candidate vs graduate student vs bachelor’s degree vs undergraduate degree), demand, and teaching experience. No matter your budget, finding an experienced TEFL tutor to help you with any TEFL problem is easy with TutorOcean.

Question 5

Question 6

Are TEFL tutors worth it?

Accepted Answer

Studies suggest that as many as eight out of 10 students can potentially benefit from private instruction, including children who are high-achievers. Not only can private 1-on-1 tutoring online or in-person help foster a deeper understanding of key concepts, but students can also be taught broader study skills that will be very useful in later school levels even into high school and college/university classes. The only way to truly discover the benefit of a private TEFL tutor is to try a tutoring service for yourself. Take your time to meet several tutors to ensure you find the right fit, especially with regard to matching teaching and learning styles.

Question 7

How can a tutor help me master TEFL?

Accepted Answer

An TEFL tutor can help you to recall more than just concepts of TEFL, but to put that knowledge to use. A private tutor can help you to connect what you’re learning in school (at any grade level) with what you see and experience in your daily life. A private TEFL tutor can help you review your academic concerns and create a study plan that highlights your strengths and builds on your weaknesses to help improve your grades.
