When I asked questions I got a quick reply and we kept moving forwardDid you have ample time to practice what you were learning?1: It felt like a lecture class - I took notes most of the time2: We had a couple "practice" moments during each hour3: It was about 50/504: I got lots of practice, but he/she "taught" me a lot too5: It seems like my tutor hardly spoke, I was in the hot seat most of the hourHow much background noise was at your tutor's house or office?1: A ton - it was always something: street noise, neighboring animals, loud people in the same room, etc2: Enough to be distracting but not too bad3: Occasionally a dog or something interrupted us, but it didn't make a big impression on me4: Hardly any background noise5: No background noise, it was perfectVideo Conference SoftwareHow complicated was the Cisco WebEx platform to use?1: Very complicated - I never actually got used to how it works2: Somewhat confusing at first - but after a couple of sessions I got the hang of it3: Not too different than other online software - it's fine after you figure it out4: Not complicated, it was pretty user friendly actually5: Super easy, I never had any troubles with it. It was intuitive & self-explanatoryWhat was the video connection quality like?1: Poor - it froze up all the time, was delayed, and we even got disconnected2: Usually the connection was okay, but the connection was bad at least once a session3: Usually fine - only few problems that really stick out in my mind4: Good, I hardly noticed any glitches5: Great, no interruptions that I can rememberWhat was the audio connection quality like?1: Poor - lots of echo in the conversation and other screechy noises2: A little bit of echo and audio interference3: Not bad at all4: Good, I hardly noticed any glitches5: Great, no interruptions or distractions that I can rememberClass FormatWho did more talking, you or the teacher? Definitely the teacher Depended on the day - on average probably equal Definitely me - s/he always had me explaining, discussing, and experimenting with Spanish Did you "see" enough Spanish written out during the lessons?1: Not at all - it was almost purely oral2: S/he wrote out a little bit, but I struggled without a traditional whiteboard3: Yes, it was okay4: Yes, we were regularly referring to the running Word document or Powerpoint slides5: Absolutely, s/he was always recording key words and phrases on the class notes documents. I even got to practice writing on several occasionsHow were you corrected during the sessions? Did it feel right, like too much, or too little?Was there any homework assigned? If so, was it relevant, helpful, and a realistic amount?Other Important Comments: Please help us improve this service!What were your goals for participating in these test lessons? Did you meet those goals?What did you like best about these tutoring hours? What did you like least?How do you think SpanishTutorNetwork.com classes could be improved for students at your level?We're still in the "thick" of building out the SpanishTutorNetwork.com website. Apart from an easy way to book your class sessions and select a tutor, what else would you like to see on the site?We've been thinking of features like: 1. Grammar reference and practice activities, 2. Free user forum for language questions and answers, 3. Teacher rating system...what else should we think about?What else should we know as we're working on: training teachers, improving the video conference interface, and adding features and content to SpanishTutorNetwork.com?What do you think is the highest possible price point for these classes based on your experience and the value you perceived? Under $10/hr - This wasn't a very good way to learn Spanish $12 - $15/hr - There are just too many inherent limitations and frustrations to charge more $16 - $20/hr - My instructor was worth it, and it was convenient - but I probably wouldn't pay more than $20/hr $21 - $25/hr - I'm totally satisfied with the classes, it would be a steal of a deal to get high quality and individual instruction at 50% of what Common Ground usually charges for live one on one instruction Δ
