HOW IT WORKS
Classes are anywhere from 1
to 4 hours in length and you can study for as little as
one week or up to six months in the case where someone
wants to advance to an upper-intermediate level. Your
first free class will consist of an oral exam to assure
proper placement. We start from your current level and
work from there.
You will study alone online
with your tutor. You will see your tutor and he or she
will see you while doing your classes. The tutor will
have a marker board to use examples when needed or
simply type the answer using Skype. You will have your
materials sent to you for classes and to study outside
of class. Classes will consist of part grammatical
studies and part conversational. You will have the
opportunity to rotate to different teachers every so
often so that you will get exposure to different accents
and forms of speaking. You can always request to keep or
change your tutor as well.
We can offer you classes
between the hours of 9 AM and 8 PM Eastern Standard
time, Monday through Friday and from 9 AM to 5 PM on
Saturdays. Sundays are optional and depends on tutors
schedule. We will do our best to work around your
scheduling needs.
- The FIRST step is to
register
Within 24 hours (Monday to Friday) you will receive
a welcome email from Triangle Tutors confirming your
registration details and providing you with
instructions on how to connect with your tutor
online.
The trial class lasts for (30 minutes). Within 24 hours (Monday to
Friday) of receiving your inquiry you will be
contacted with the schedule of your trial class. If
you enjoy it you can then define your schedule and a
private tutor will be assigned to you.
Once you've had your free lesson and are ready to
continue with your tutor, you can purchase hours
using our payment button,
which will take you directly to PayPal. Payment can
be made through them with credit card, debit card or
check (please allow 7-10 business days to clear the
bank).
How soon can I get started?
You can register immediately and expect to have
defined and implemented your regular schedule within
24 – 72 hours of registering (Monday to Friday).
Do I need to know a lot about computers in order
to take the course?
No, as long as you have a basic computer user level
(Internet Explorer, Word, Email) you should
experience no problems with wyntonsworld.com.
What technical requirements do I need?
You will need a broadband internet connection and a
microphone/audio headset. In many cases your
computer already has these things built into it so
you won't even need to buy them. If you don't, any
department store such as Walmart sells these
for about $20-40. You will also need a webcam if you
want your tutor to see you during the class. Again,
these can be purchased very inexpensively at most
any department store or electronics store.
Do I need a web cam?
Web cams are optional for students. You will see
your tutor either way because he/she will have a
camera.
Do I need to install special software?
The only program you will need to install, if you
haven’t already done so, is Skype™. This is a free
program which is simple to download, simple to
install and simple to use. Just follow the
instructions provided at
skype.com
or click the direct download link on your Triangle
Tutors homepage. Your instructor can help you
download the Skype program and walk you through
using it too!
Will I need to buy materials such as books or
CD’s?
No, all the materials you need are included in the
program and are emailed to you free when you pay for
your first class. You can print the materials to
follow along with the tutors and to study at home.
Will I need a dictionary?
We encourage our students to use a bound dictionary.
However, there are also some good online
dictionaries available, such as
WordReference.com
Do I need to know any Spanish in order to start?
No, Triangle Tutors is suitable for students at any
level. Our tutors use English as a bridge language
when necessary.
