When learning a language, time isn’t just a number—it’s a space for growth, connection, and meaningful progress. While short lessons can offer a helpful boost, longer classes—like the 80-minute or 60-minute sessions I offer—open up a different kind of learning experience, one that is both deeper and more personal.
Here’s why:
1. Time to Think, Ask, and Practice
In shorter classes, learners often feel rushed—just as a conversation gets interesting or a question pops up, the clock runs out. In a longer class, you have time to slow down, ask the questions you’ve been holding back, and truly understand the material.
This is especially important for students who are aiming to improve fluency, build confidence, or tackle complex grammar and vocabulary.
2. Learn in Your Own Rhythm
Everyone learns differently.
Some students like to practice, repeat and talk a lot;
Others need time to process and respond.
Longer classes provide the breathing space to adjust the pace to suit your style. This is especially useful in conversation practice, where having the time to pause, reflect, and try again is often what leads to real progress.
3. More Than Just Language
In extended sessions, we’re not just covering textbook material. There’s time to explore real-world English—through discussion, reflection, storytelling, and roleplay.
Whether you’re preparing for a professional setting, planning to travel, or getting ready for exams like IELTS, 80 minutes or 60 minuyrd gives us the scope to focus on your goals without cutting corners. (“to cut corners” means to do something in the fastest or easiest way)
4. Building Momentum
Language learning is not about quick fixes. It’s about momentum.
Longer classes help you build and sustain that momentum. By the time we reach the second half of the class, most learners are more relaxed, more focused, and ready to challenge themselves. This is often when the best learning happens—when you’re fully engaged and pushing your limits.
5. Consistency with Depth
Everyone juggles busy lives – work and the home duties.
When you only have one or two classes per week or month, every session counts. An 80-minute class makes the most of your schedule by offering both continuity and depth. Instead of spreading topics thinly across several short lessons, we stay with them long enough for the knowledge to settle and stick.
So, consider giving yourself the gift of time. Not just any time—quality time that allows your learning to take root. Let’s go beyond the surface and give your English the runway it deserves.
