skype
What is skype? For those of you who are tech savvy, this question is so ridiculous for you guys. But what about others who don’t know Skype? Skype is free software that you can download online. Google the word “SKYPE”. Once you find your website, proceed to the download button. Have your Skype working or else you won’t be able to call. Calling someone from Skype to another Skype is free. Even if the person lives in another country, you are not going to spend a single penny just to talk to someone.
face to face
Facetime is an application available only for Apple products. You can only connect with someone who has a Facetime app on their iPhone, iPad, or PC using their email or phone number. Just like Skype, it has video calls and voice calls to someone that is free. The only difference between Skype and Facetime is that if you have the latest Apple products and have a video call with someone
QQ is one of the top free apps that helps Asians learn another language online. One of the drawbacks is that QQ runs with Chinese characters. For English tutors, what you can do is use Google Translate to be able to sign up for a new account.
Why should your tutor have English as their first language?
The reason is simple. Improved accent. Although you have thoroughly improved your English grammar, spelling, and reading skills, having to master English can be a challenge. There is an emphasis that you need to improve. And, one way to reach that goal is to listen to a tutor who is a Native American/English speaker. Watching movies can help you. But the fastest way to learn it is with an English tutor.
