One-to-One Tuition Using Skype

To make it easy for you to learn your new language, or improve your existing language skills, Knockhundred Translation and our professional language tutors offer "one-to-one" tutorial/coaching sessions where you speak directly with your tutor.

To do this we arrange tutorial sessions between you and the tutor of your choice. These sessions are carried out over the Internet and they are "one to one" which means that it is directly between just you and your tutor.

What Is Skype?

Skype is a tool that uses the Internet to let you use text, voice or video, to speak, see and instant message other people on Skype. 

We use it so that you can speak directly with your tutor, or perhaps use Skype video to talk to your tutor across a video link.

The basic Skype set up allows you to make free calls, it is also free to download from www.skype.com.
