Frequently asked questions about English classes
💰 How much online English lessons cost?
Prices are determined by each teacher. Online classes are usually cheaper than face-to-face classes. At Classgap, most English teachers range from €6 to €18 per hour. More specialised tutors, such as business tutors, charge more than €60 per hour.
👦 Are there English classes for children?
At Classgap there is a wide range of English teachers specialising in primary education. The classes are designed to ensure that your child learns and enjoys in equal measure. Sessions are usually fun and playful, without losing sight of the objectives set by the parents or guardians for these sessions.
🧑🏫 Why choose a native English teacher?
If you already have some English and your objective is to improve it in an easy and enjoyable way, choosing a native teacher is the best alternative. One of the most important stages of learning a new language is practising your speaking, so having a native teacher will allow you to train your ear and your speaking.
🏠 How to learn English from home?
To learn English from home you need two things: on the one hand, you need to take online classes with a teacher and, on the other hand, you need to be interested in finding resources on your own. For example, films, podcasts and books in English. Studying grammar is important, but through these resources you can develop other equally important skills, such as listening and reading.
