While there's a lot of choice for an online English teacher - a lot more than there was when we started 10 yrs ago, the fundamental decision though hasn't changed. A student still needs to ask themselves the same basic questions: Why do I need to improve my English? Who am I going to be talking English with? Where will I be speaking English? English compared to other languages is easy to learn (I could be biased😉) but it is a very large language covering many different cultures. So big that you have to be a bit selective on what you learn and from who. The beauty of an Australian teacher (& South Africans too) is that our culture covers both the UK and the US and our accent is somewhere in the middle, much easier...
