Private tutoring is recommended if you: Have little experience studying English conversation before. Are not having success with self-study. Need a flexible way to study due to a busy schedule.
You will have a set amount of make up lessons per contract. If you need to cancel a lesson, we will add those make up lessons to the end of your contract. For class cancellation, you must call by 4:30 pm the day before the class is scheduled to be eligible for a make up lesson. You must speak to a GEOS staff member personally. If you cancel the same day, it will be counted as attended.
Private Lesson Testimonial:
My name is Nick and I’m from Japan. I’m a stockbroker working in SF and taking private lessons at GEOS SF. Matt is my instructor. I've been having one-hour lessons several times a week for one year. I've been focusing on improving my English mainly for my job, but I’m also building up my vocabulary which is challenging for me. Every lesson basically consists of reviewing, listening, speaking, writing, and checking my grammar and pronunciation. Matt knows how to improve my weak points, and is good at motivating me to study English. I never get bored, and I'm always willing to go to class because he is very knowledgeable and supportive. I learn a lot of new things during my lessons. Not only is Matt very helpful and but he also manages to make the class fun for me. Choosing GEOS was one of my best decisions I’ve made since coming to SF. Matt is the best English teacher that I’ve ever known.
