Often the course can be renowned and have an important name, but the method is stuck, and you can’t adapt. In others, it can be near your home, but it has an atmosphere so heavy that you do not get in the mood to go to the same class that is a few meters away. Therefore, it is essential to have other criteria to make this choice.
Pay Attention To The Environment
It doesn’t matter if we are dealing with children, teenagers, or adults. Paying attention to the school environment is very important when choosing an English Tutoring (ติว อังกฤษ which is the term in Thai) for English course. A very rigid, very serious environment, which focuses on grades and corrections, leaves students feeling embarrassed and afraid of making mistakes. A good English course is one that you feel comfortable with. Instead of being afraid of making a mistake, you feel like trying, knowing that the attempt is the first step to getting right. Look for an environment where you can be friends with peers, faculty, and staff. A place you are happy to go to once or twice a week.
Choosing an English course like this helps a lot when you don’t want to get out of bed to go to class. Or who wants to leave work straight home without going to school first. And, daily, it helps you feel more comfortable asking questions, sharing doubts, and regularly practicing the language.
Talk To Students And Alumni
Receptionists and salespeople will only show you the good side of the courses. It’s their job! But to choose an English course, you cannot stop there. Look for students and alumni of the school to ask questions about the course and method. Find out if they are satisfied with the classes, which could improve the study routine of those who are learning English there.
And don’t stick to just one person. After all, experiences are unique, and even if one person has had a good or bad experience, it’s not everyone’s opinion. Try to understand the person’s points without judging the whole school for it.
Understand The Price Charged
Good teachers, suitable materials, and a good atmosphere contribute a lot to a suitable language course. Likewise, they are factors that cost good money. Therefore, be wary of schools that charge very little: normally, either the materials are bad, or the teachers are underpaid, or the classrooms are precarious.
Understand that you will get paid for what you pay and that this is not a superfluous expense but an investment in your career and your professional life. So, don’t look for the best bargain, but the best value for money.
