Wprowadzenie

For many language learners, speaking is the hardest skill to master. You may know the grammar, understand reading texts, and do well in listening — but when it’s time to speak, you freeze.

The good news? With the guidance of a private online tutor, you can overcome this barrier. At Levitin Language School | Start Language School by Tymur Levitin, we focus on real communication, using proven techniques that make students more confident and fluent.

1. Shadowing Technique

Shadowing means listening to a phrase and immediately repeating it, trying to copy the rhythm, intonation, and pronunciation.

• Builds natural speech flow.
• Improves listening and speaking simultaneously.
• Tutors guide you by choosing materials that fit your level.

2. Role-Play Conversations

Instead of memorizing dialogues, practice real-life situations:

• ordering food at a restaurant,
• job interview,
• traveling abroad,
• making business calls.

👉 With a tutor, role-play becomes realistic and adapted to your needs.

3. Question-and-Answer Drills

Fluency comes from quick reactions. Tutors use Q&A exercises to train you to respond without translating in your head.

• Builds automatic thinking in the target language.
• Reduces hesitation.
• Prepares you for exam speaking tasks and real conversations.

4. Storytelling and Personal Sharing

Speaking isn’t just about answering — it’s about expressing ideas. Tutors encourage you to:

• retell short stories,
• share personal experiences,
• give opinions on different topics.

This improves vocabulary, grammar in context, and confidence.

5. Error Correction and Feedback

Self-study can’t give you proper feedback. Tutors:

• correct mistakes immediately,
• explain dlaczego something is wrong,
• provide alternatives and natural phrases.

👉 This transforms errors into powerful learning moments.

Why Practice Speaking with a Tutor Works Best

Apps can teach vocabulary, but only a tutor can:

• adjust to your pace,
• notice hidden mistakes,
• push you out of your comfort zone,
• create safe, supportive practice until you’re ready for the real world.

Przy Szkoła językowa Levitin, we combine these five techniques to help students from over 20 countries speak freely and with confidence.
