发帖数: 156 | 1 Hi, everyone, I just talked with a professor from our university who
provides the personal English course at her home office. I just want to ask if it is reasonable price for personal coach if you have similar experience.
Thanks so much for the comments.
She has many titles
shown below: Ph.D. Neuroscience
M.S., Speech Language Pathology
with C.C.C.-SLP
(Certificate of Clinical Competence, American
Speech, Language, & Hearing Association)
Research Professor
Brief description of the course:
It is a one-on-one course. It begins with a video-taped, comprehensive North American English evaluation to evaluate how you pronounce the sounds of English, the intonation and prosody you use (pitch and stress used in speaking), and how these areas affect how well you are understood in
speaking. High-level language skills, writing skills, presentation skills
can also be examined, if needed. The perspective coach promise to tailor to
the individual client and the communication skills needed in that person's
daily life.
Classes meet weekly for 1 hour, usually. In total, it includes 12 classes
plus pre-evaluation and post-evaluation which cost $1400. The materials cost
$100. | g****i

听说过类似长度的课程，但是一个班而不是一对一的，那是大概300刀。所以你的一对
一的1400刀估计还行，可能小贵。
ask if it is reasonable price for personal coach if you have similar
experience.

spent for the final polish, but not for the beginners.

发帖数: 834 | 4 我请过这样的老师，去老师家是60/h，如果老师上门大概是90/h。 上完第一节课的时
候，觉得非常非常有收获。 但后面慢慢就没有那么强的感觉了。 去了一阵后，现在已
经不去了。 因为我觉得语言是冰冻三尺非一日之寒，自己练习也非常重要。 尤其是从
小就习惯发的一些音，需要反复练习才能纠过来，这部分再优秀的老师也帮不了你。
一下子十几个小时的课好像还是蛮多蛮贵的。 要是可以自己选择上几次就好了。 | a****9
发帖数: 773 | 5 I used to hire a tutor and finally found she's just a desperate women....I
got bummed and never ever want to try language tutor anymore.
Someone here used to recommend ESL podcast, and I found it's fantastic. I
can clearly feel my improvement. and I really want to thank that person who
recommend it.
Btw, ESL podcast is free. u can google it. it also has free iphone/touch

发帖数: 2269 | 6 一般的tutor只是英语系的学生或者老师，他们不懂得如何纠正发音的，只有language
/speech therapist/pathologist懂。后者不会教你语法，而是教你运用那块口腔肌肉
发音，说白了就是accent reduction，而不是English tutor.
well

发帖数: 156 | 7 Thanks so much, guys. I really appreciate that you take time to read my long
poster and share you experience. Your comments are help me to make a wise
decision. | H****y
发帖数: 156 | 8 Additionally, I want to update you with email from the professor. I am still
make the final decision.
The part of email is shown below:
As I said yesterday, I think you have great potential to achieve the level
of expertise in American English to which you aspire. To summarize our
discussion, we would work on both speech (articulation of sounds, intonation
, stress) and language (vocabulary, American idioms, scientific terms) that
you need in your work as a scientist. We could also work on any
presentations that you have in the future (which is a very good way to put
into practice what you learn).
Any new comments. Thanks. | H****y

Thanks again for your nice comments.
I googled "ESL ipod", but it pumped up a lot of links. The top one is http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html. It looks like a nice website. It is the one you recommended? Or, would you like to share the link with me? Thanks a bunch.

发帖数: 2269 | 13 you can hire someone else for vocabulary, idioms. don't waste your money on
these. You can find much cheaper tutors for all these.

发帖数: 60 | 14 I can easily find someone at $15 per hour in my area, I agree it is long
term effort, self studing is very important. over $100 is too much. |
