As a private English tutor, one of the things I’ve found more than anything else is that students really don’t want to study spoken English from textbooks. Afterall, native English speakers didn’t learn to speak English from studying textbooks! But frequently the opportunity is not there for students to practice speaking English, and so many suffer from poor pronunciation or simply poor confidence due to not having that kind of opportunity.
Also, while free-style conversation lessons are okay, these do not go all the way to helping students practice their English skills, especially as they’d be practicing with people who are at the same level as them. What’s needed is a lesson where conversation happens and the teacher corrects the conversation as it progresses.
Skype lessons are great for this. I strongly recommend finding a tutor available on Skype that can teach conversation and pronunciation skills.
There are many available on Tutor Agent.
Failing that, a guided conversational video would also help. I particularly recommend any video that contains a tutor asking questions in a role play style lesson. You can pause the video, work out how you should be answering the question or come up with several different ways to answer to challenge yourself, and then play the video to hear the next question. You don’t get a tutor correcting you but you do get a tutor challenging you to come up with an answer to a difficult question that you would not usually be asked by a student in your own college class or in your university ESL English language course.
