We usually steer our members away from private tutoring because it's very expensive (unless your company is paying for it...or you're just really, really rich!!!). A combination of VIP memberships in PIRF and DDM are usually MORE than enough to GREATLY improve your English skills as long as you stick to the programs and attend as many LIVE classes as you can. We have recently had Gulistan (a lawyer and PhD student from Turkey) and Soooda (a teacher from China) who have attended over 120 hours EVERY MONTH of LIVE classes on top of their VIP lessons. Their English has skyrocketed. The price is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, too. DDM+PIRF Premium is $340/month, DDM+PIRF VIP is $150/month. Private tutoring STARTS at $1250 for ten hours. Just an FYI for everyone!
