Thousands of people born into other languages desire to learn English. Non-native English speakers have unique reasons for learning English. They also have individual goals. Whatever the reasons, there are several options for learning English for special purposes, also called English as a second language. Private tutoring is an excellent way to learn but can be very expensive. Also, native speakers who are also excellent teachers can be difficult to find. On-site training programs and collegiate courses also teach English to non-native speakers. These can be expensive and time-consuming.

These companies connect students to qualified, native English speaking teachers who meet via the internet. Although some do this through emails and phone calls, the best use video conferencing online.

It also allows for communication through body language, which accounts for 55% of all spoken communication. It has all the benefits of a private tutor without the hassle of locating a qualified teacher or scheduling time together.
