Why Foreign Language Tutoring is Important

Research has demonstrated a positive correlation between learning a foreign language and attaining higher scores on the writing and critical reading sections of the SAT. Students who learn foreign languages have also been shown to have better scientific reasoning ability than students who do not receive foreign language instruction. In addition to helping you in school and on your college admissions tests, fluency in a second language can make you more competitive in the job market in the future. Our world is increasingly global and interconnected, and a foreign language can help you to gain beneficial cultural awareness.

After you understand why foreign language study is encouraged and how it might benefit you, tackling the subject may be easier. It is difficult to learn a foreign language if you were not exposed to it when you were young, but it is not impossible. Your instruction should include a background in the grammar and vocabulary that your foreign language utilizes so that you understand the structure of it. Beyond simply memorizing words and grammar rules, you will gain a lot more by immersing yourself in the language. We can help you by conversing with you in the language and working with you on proper pronunciation. It will be important for you to complete all of your homework and to work hard at home when you are not in your tutoring sessions.

Talking to native and fluent speakers regularly can help you to hear how the words are pronounced, allowing you to fine tune your pronunciation. It will also help you to pick up speed in speaking and thinking in the language. Studying your foreign language daily is important for you to be able to learn it well. You can do things such as watching movies in the foreign language that you are learning, reading newspapers and books that are written in the language and writing stories and letters in it. If you are able to do so, visiting a country where your chosen foreign language is spoken can give you an immersion experience that will challenge you in new ways and might allow you to approach fluency.

When you are in class at school and in sessions with your tutor, it is important for you to ask any questions that you might have and to actively participate in discussions. Don’t be afraid to speak up and to try talking in the foreign language in front of other students. While you may not be perfect at first, your language skills will improve the more you try to use them. Tutoring can help you gain more confidence so that you will feel better about talking in your foreign language.
