are skype lessons effective?

Juliette has found students to be even more focused during Skype lessons than they are in person! Most of her local San Diego students–including children and high school students–prefer having their lessons over Skype and have found it to be even more effective than in-person lessons. Plus you have the comfort  of learning from your own home with more scheduling flexibility!


how do skype lessons work?

Juliette will video call you on Skype on the date and time you’ve agreed upon for your lesson. As you move through the lesson, Juliette will type detailed notes to you using Skype’s Instant Messaging function. This will include the vocabulary you are learning, verb conjugations, corrections, and anything else relevant to your lesson. The chat history will be a wonderful study guide for you afterward.

High school students or anyone who is working with a specific textbook will simply text a photo of the pages they are covering to Juliette, and she will cover the material in the same manner she would as if she were sitting right next to you. Juliette may email you worksheets or suggest a specific text to work with depending on your personal goals. There are other fantastic tools Juliette uses to facilitate easy learning in your lessons, such as sharing Google Docs, and more!

WHAT DO JULIETTE’S STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY? 

“Juliette was our very first English teacher when we first arrived in the States from Argentina over 9 years ago, and I didn’t speak any English at that time. Now I speak fluently and confidently, and I have Juliette to thank!  She came to our house twice a week for lessons and we had so much fun learning English with her! She was enthusiastic and approachable, and she taught us the true, everyday English we needed to know to survive our first year in a foreign country. Juliette is an incredible teacher, mentor, and friend, and we would highly recommend her services to anyone hoping to learn English!” –Jimena C. & Sebastian P. ~ Adult English Students
