Abstract
Let’s assume that you are reading this book because you are doing, or are interested in doing, some one-to-one language tutoring or learning. The history of one-on-one learning is both rich and lengthy (Lepper et al., 1997). The Ancient Greeks made use of tutors all those centuries ago when Socrates tutored a young slave boy. From ancient times to the present, one-on-one instruction has led to significant learning gains and provided personalized learning that can’t be achieved in larger language classrooms.
