English is one of the most popular subjects for tuition help. Its role
as one of the world's major languages means that an ability to
communicate in English is essential. However, for that communication to
be effective, the quality of the English - both spoken and written -
needs to be of the highest standard. English tuition consists of
tutoring in the following:
- Learning how to read
- Improving spelling and grammar
- Essay writing
- Précis work
- Studying literary texts
- Reading and writing poetry
- Adult literacy
- Elocution and public speaking
- Learning English as a non-native speaker
- Preparing for English exams
In recent years, there has been a tendency towards a more colloquial
and 'sloppy' English but, despite that, good grammar, spelling and
punctuation are in as much demand as they ever were. As a result there
is a high level of requirement for English lessons to teach students the
basics of the English language.
Lessons can begin at the earliest of ages - even pre-schoolers can
(and should) be taught to spell their name and address as well as
learning how to read, of course. If the
importance of good spelling and grammar is established early on, then it
will stay with the student throughout his or her life and will aid them
with other academic subjects and, later, in their career.
If you are an adult who wants to improve their English, then adult
literacy lessons are for you. With private tuition there is both
targeted coaching (ie you learn what you feel you need to learn in the
way which best suits you) and, of course, there is also 'discretion
assured'.
For non-native speakers, English is the lingua franca in many parts
of the world - witness its status as the language of the airlines - and
an ability to master its many strange grammatical nuances is important
if the worker or student is to succeed.
For those who do speak English fluently or as a native speaker,
elocution lessons are always popular. Many people feel hampered by their
accent or an inability to project themselves clearly and with
confidence. Public speaking skills in a communications-orientated world
are a basic requirement for the successful business person.
However English is not just about speaking the language, it is also
about an appreciation of the wealth of English literature which has made
such an important contribution to the literary world over the centuries.
Learn the finer points of Shakespeare and Hardy, understand Chaucer's
English, enjoy the images conjured up by Wordsworth and the great poets
or debate the allusions in a modern short story.
