The four skills of ESL are listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

• Listening: comprehending native speakers at natural speed, from casual chat to formal presentations. This skill builds your ear for rhythm, stress patterns, and implied meaning.
• Speaking: developing pronunciation, fluency, and the ability to think in English. Regular conversation practice turns passive knowledge into active output.
• Reading: decoding vocabulary, grammar, and meaning across different genres. This skill supports all others by feeding your brain rich, varied English.
• Writing: producing emails, essays, or social media posts with clarity and correctness. Feedback from a tutor helps you spot patterns in your errors.

One-on-one sessions let you strengthen weaker skills while maintaining progress in stronger ones.
