Why one-to-one English lessons work so well
In a private lesson, all the attention is on you. Your teacher can see quickly where you are already strong, where you are holding back and which changes will make the biggest difference.
More time to speak
There is no waiting for your turn. You speak, ask questions, try things out and get immediate feedback.
Feedback that is specific to you
Your teacher can pick up on the small things that are easy to miss in a group – recurring mistakes, pronunciation habits, gaps in vocabulary or areas where you are less confident.
No time wasted
You do not have to follow the pace of a group or work through material you already know. If something is clear, you move on. If it needs more attention, you spend the time on it.
What would you like to work on?
Good private lessons should not follow a rigid syllabus. They should start with what you want to be able to do more confidently in English.
Depending on your level and goals, you might want to work on:
speaking more fluently and spontaneously
understanding spoken English more easily
improving your pronunciation and sounding more natural
building a broader, more useful vocabulary
strengthening the areas of grammar that still cause problems
getting back into English after a long break
feeling more at ease using English when travelling or in international situations
preparing for an exam such as Cambridge English, IELTS, TOEFL or GMAT
Your teacher will agree the priorities with you and adjust the lessons as you make progress.
The right teacher matters
One-to-one lessons work best when you feel comfortable enough to ask questions, make mistakes and speak without overthinking every sentence.
Qualifications are a given. The right personal fit matters too. When we match you with a teacher, we consider your goals, your learning style and the kind of person you are likely to work well with.
Your trial lesson gives you the chance to meet your teacher, see how they work and decide whether the fit feels right.
Because when the chemistry is right, learning often feels easier too.

When and where can I have my English lessons?
You can have your private English lessons in central Zurich either at your offices or at our classrooms which are just a few steps from Bahnhofstrasse.
