One-to-one English tutoring starts at $80 per hour, with regular sessions recommended to build confidence and make consistent progress. For more specialised needs, including workplace English coaching, we offer customised programmes tailored to your specific goals, industry or workplace requirements. These may involve additional planning, learning resources and structured training, so pricing is quoted individually. Pricing for these programmes depends on your specific requirements, location and number of participants. We'll always discuss your needs and confirm pricing upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.

Tutoring sessions are planned in advance, so a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required if you need to cancel or reschedule. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged at the full session rate. When more than 24 hours’ notice is provided, we will arrange another suitable time wherever possible. Cancellation terms for workplace English coaching will be included in your tailored proposal.

One-to-one tutoring is held at Talk Time Tutoring’s Torbay, North Shore location in Auckland. For business enquiries, tailored workplace English coaching can be delivered at your business premises by arrangement.

The ideal frequency depends on your goals, availability and budget. Regular lessons help maintain momentum and give you more opportunities to practise what you have learned. Many learners benefit from one or two sessions each week, but Christina can recommend a suitable schedule during your free consultation.

Your lessons will be tailored to your individual English level and goals. You may focus on conversation, pronunciation, grammar, listening comprehension, everyday conversations or practical situations such as making appointments, attending interviews and speaking confidently in the community. Lessons are designed to give you useful skills that you can apply in everyday life in New Zealand.

Yes. One-to-one tutoring gives you the flexibility to focus on the areas that are most important to you. Christina will discuss your goals and create lessons around your current needs, interests and preferred learning pace. For workplace English coaching, the programme will be developed in consultation with the business and shaped around the communication needs of the participating employees.

We begin with a conversation about your organisation, the employees requiring support and the communication skills they use in their roles. A tailored proposal is then prepared, with coaching delivered at your workplace for an individual employee or small group. Coaching can focus on meetings, customer conversations, telephone calls, pronunciation, listening, workplace vocabulary, presentations and asking for clarification.
