20-Minute Trial Instructions

Congratulations on taking your first step in improving your English speaking and pronunciation skills! Our courses have been designed to help you efficiently and rapidly improve your Conversation and Vocabulary skills, as well as assisting you with Pronunciation/Accent Reduction.

1. Your tutor will call you to start your 20-minute trial class

At your scheduled trial class time, your tutor will call you to start your 20-minute trial class. Our regular classes are 50 minutes but the trial classes last 20 minutes. He or she will first introduce him or herself and then send you, via your Skype chat link, an ETO online class from your chosen study program To access your Skype chat link you simply need to right click on your teacher's video and you will then see a 'Start chat' or "Send IM/Instant Messaging" option. Once you click on this you will see your class URL

2. Each class consists of three parts:

1- Vocabulary

2- Conversation: the trial class will focus on the conversation section. In this section, your tutor will ask you questions from the online textbook to promote conversation, so you can practice your English speaking and pronunciation skills. Your tutor will be listening carefully in order to correct any mistakes in your grammar and sentence structure. Your tutor will then send the mistakes you made along with corrections via Skype. This will allow you to see your mistakes in terms of grammar, sentence structure and pronunciation, clearly. She/he will also clearly explain the corrections.

3- Role Play

We also have classes on English Pronunciation.

At English Tutor Online, we personalize classes to match Your Learning Needs. Our goal is to help you efficiently improve your conversation and pronunciation skills in any area that is important to you. If you like, you can even practice your own work-related presentation in class! If this were an actual class your teacher would send you a class report at the end of the class. The class report allows you to review your lesson and keep track of your progress! In the class report, we focus on Pronunciation, Vocabulary, Grammar and Sentence Structure.
