I found out that there are a certain number of people who feel this way. Specifically, 19.2% to 23.3% of people felt that they had “improved” in their English speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills, while those who felt that they had “improved not much” or “didn’t improve at all.” The total number of respondents was 8.2% to 15.1%.

Furthermore, the percentage of people who answered “Neither”, “I don’t really agree”, or “I don’t agree at all” ranged from 21.9% to 45.2% for each item, meaning those who did not have a clear effect or a good impression.

As a result, it became clear that many people in Tottori Prefecture wanted a price range of less than 30,000 yen.
Although it varies depending on the course content and the quality of the instructor, the average price for English conversation schools is around 2,000 yen to 6,000 yen per lesson, and the monthly fee is around 8,000 yen to 24,000 yen, so the results are reasonable. I can say it.
However, the number of lessons and the length of each lesson vary depending on the English conversation school, so it is important to check not only the monthly fee, but also how much the tuition fee is per hour.
