FAQ

1 / How much does a tutoring session cost? 

One-to-one tutoring is $80 for a one-hour session or $110 for a 1.5-hour session. Discounted rates may be available when multiple sessions are purchased in advance. Contact us to discuss the best option for your goals and schedule. Tailored workplace English coaching is individually quoted based on your organisation’s requirements, location, number of participants and recommended coaching programme. Please enquire for a customised proposal.

2 / What's your Cancellation Policy?

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.

3 / Where are the tutoring sessions held?

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.

4 / How often should I have tutoring sessions?

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.

5 / What will I learn during the one-to-one sessions?

Your lessons will be tailored to your individual English level and goals. You may focus on conversation, pronunciation, grammar, listening comprehension, workplace communication 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 and work in New Zealand.

6 / Can I choose what I want to focus on?

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.

7 / How does workplace English coaching work and what does it cover?

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.
