englishstar can help!

 

englishstar ESL Tutoring, Teaching & Consulting  is located in Athens, Georgia and specializes in English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction for people from non-English speaking backgrounds.  Language assistance is provided to international students, visiting scholars, family members of international visitors, business employees, travelers, or anyone wishing to improve their English.


Our tutors are trained and experienced ESL professionals that provide quality, interesting, and friendly tutoring sessions or classes.



TUTORING SESSIONS

englishstar tutors are flexible and are available to teach mornings, afternoons or evenings. 


Tutoring sessions take place in the location most comfortable for the student - the student's home or office, a public location (such as a coffee shop, bookstore, or library) or at the tutor's home.  Tutoring takes place in Athens, Georgia or surrounding areas.


It is recommended that tutoring sessions last 2 hours each.  One hour is often not enough time to complete a lesson.  Intensive programs, such as two hour sessions three times a week, are also recommended for those students who want to improve their English more rapidly.
