Should I Take Online Or In-Person English Lessons?

Over the years, especially after the establishment of LEWB (Learn English with Bathabile), I’ve discovered that there are many misconceptions surrounding online education. Among them are:

• Online education is is not as effective as conventional, in-person instruction.
• Online education is dull, impersonal, and tedious.
• Online education isn’t as engaging as in-person learning.

The truth is, traditional face-to-face learning is not superior to online learning; it all boils down to your learning needs. For example, if you are an introverted novice student with no English background, 1:1 in-person sessions may be the ideal option for you. Some individuals respond better to the atmosphere and relationships of an in-person class, which might provide motivation, while others might prefer the online setting.

Online learning is usually best suited for intermediate or pre-intermediate students who need to polish their English. Interestingly, studies reveal that young children aged 4 to 10 with no English background are equally well-suited for online education.

Today, online learning is thriving, and more and more people are choosing online services as opposed to in-person education. The reasons behind this are self-evident. For starters, online education allows you to learn at your own pace. Second, online learning is flexible and accommodates people’s busy schedules. Third, online schooling is convenient and comfortable. For example, one can learn in bed while drinking coffee or eating breakfast.
