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.
One very successful method that has emerged in the last ten years is online one-on-one English language training courses. 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. Using video conferencing to teach English for special purposes eliminates wait time for feedback and allows questions to be answered as soon as they arise. 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.

Do colleges teach you how to make a living?
I was talking with an industrial psychologist once about college and making a living. The psychologist said: “the only people who go to college are the ones that aren’t smart enough to make a living without it!” Well, I think that is a gross exaggeration but there is some truth in it. But everyone needs to make a living some time, and the sooner we learn it the better off we are.
As a homeschooler you have the advantage of teaching your child this yourself. It comes naturally to some, some learn it via osmosis from their parents, and unfortunately some never seem to figure it out. Focusing some time on it with your child early will make a difference. I suggest that you teach your child how to make a living by comparing it to how businesses do it. Done right, your child will learn both, and get equipped for either a job or an entrepreneurial venture when he grows up. Here are a few simple things to start with:
