Profesora del Departamento de Traducción. Traductor jurado profesional con experiencia en traducción y enseñanza de inglés y alemán. Imparto clases en 20 países del mundo. Mi principio en la enseñanza y la realización de clases es alejarse de la memorización de reglas de memoria, y, en cambio, aprender a entender los principios de la lengua y utilizarlos de la misma manera que hablar y pronunciar correctamente los sonidos por el sentimiento, y no repasar cada uno en su cabeza todas las reglas, ya que no habrá tiempo para eso en el habla real. Siempre hay que basarse en la situación y la comodidad.

Introducción

Choosing the right online language tutor can feel overwhelming. With so many platforms, apps, and teachers available, students often don’t know how to decide. The wrong choice can waste both money and time.

En Levitin Language School | Start Language School by Tymur Levitin, we help students find the tutor who matches their goals, level, and learning style. The right teacher makes all the difference between slow progress and real success.


Key Tips for Choosing the Right Tutor

1. Define Your Goals

Pregúntatelo a ti mismo: Why am I learning this language?

  • For an exam? → You need someone experienced in test preparation.
  • For work? → A tutor with business communication background.
  • For travel or daily life? → A conversational tutor is best.

👉 Clear goals = better match with the right teacher.


2. Check the Tutor’s Experience

Not every native speaker is a good teacher. Look for:

  • professional teaching or translation background,
  • experience with international students,
  • ability to explain grammar and vocabulary clearly.

3. Look for a Personal Connection

Learning is easier when you feel comfortable. A good tutor should:

  • motivate you,
  • respect your pace,
  • create a positive learning environment.

4. Pay Attention to Flexibility

Schedules and time zones matter. A great tutor adapts to your availability and offers flexible formats:

  • regular lessons,
  • intensive sessions,
  • short conversation practices.

5. Try a First Lesson and Personal Consultation

The best way to know if a tutor is right for you is through direct communication.

  • Every student can start with a free chat consultation to clarify goals, schedule, and level.
  • In addition, we offer a 30-minute trial session for $3.50 (with selected tutors), so you can experience the teaching style in practice without risk — while also respecting the teacher’s time.

Why Levitin Language School?

  • Our tutors are experienced professionals — translators, educators, and real practitioners.
  • Ofrecemos transparent pricing (lesson cost visible in each tutor’s profile).

Conclusión
