Four Important Factors to Consider When Choosing an Online English Speaking Course – Factor 3

by Marc Anderson

This is the third post in my series, ‘Four Important Factors to Consider When Choosing an Online English Speaking Course. I suggest reading Factor #1 and Factor #2 before this post if you are interested in taking online English lessons.

Factor 3 – Choose A Course With Flexible Lesson Days and Times

You want to inquire about the flexibility of the lesson days and times.

A quality online English speaking course will give you the full freedom to choose your lesson days and times. You should not be tied down to days and times they select.  Remember, this is you money and your lessons.  They should work around your schedule.

Here are some questions you’ll want to get the answers to:

*Are you able to arrange lesson days and times that are convenient for you?

*Can you postpone and reschedule lessons easily if you are unable to attend your scheduled lesson?

*Does the company charge you for rescheduling or missed classes?  They shouldn’t!

*Are you able to request different instructors if you are not happy with the one you currently have?

*Are you able to put your lessons ‘on hold’ for an extended time if you have to go away for business or holidays?

*Are you able to transfer your lessons to other people if you are not able to continue learning for some reason?

These are some more important questions you’d like answered before you sign up for online English lessons.  Finding out the flexibility of the lesson days and times shouldn’t be hard to do.  If this information is not provided on the website, you’d better call the company and ask.

In my next post, I will be discussing the fourth and final factor of the “Four Important Factors to Consider When Choosing an Online English Speaking Course”…
