Hi. I'm 35 soon be 35 years old and living in the states..I got dropped out of school at a young age due to financial crisis.. Now I'm here in the US where I have the opportunity to go back to school and better myself by getting my diploma..I might spell words in this paragraph correct sometimes because the phone correct me at times and sometimes I still having trouble with cammars and other punctuation marks...I would like someone tell if I should do online schooling or go directly in the classroom and get it hands-on... Sometimes online schooling can be difficult for some people in different ways... Sometimes I forgot things alot.. I'm struggling with spelling words alot and I want to be better than who I'm now...

The only spelling mistake I can see is 'cammars' instead of 'commas'.

American pronunciation Jack!

[Jackdaw33]

Spelling, and punctuation, are a nightmare for non-English speakers. I don't know how many ways the combination 'ough' can be pronounced but it runs into double figures.

You're not wrong.

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.
Well don't! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard but sounds like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed, not bead,
For goodness sake don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth as in mother
Nor both as in bother, nor broth as in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear, for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose--
Just look them up--and goose and choose
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword
And do and go, then thwart and cart,
Come, come! I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful Language? Why man alive!
I learned to talk it when I was five.
And yet to write it, the more I tried,
I hadn't learned it at fifty-five.

Yes, nothing can beat personal tuition. Online is good but personal tuition is a lot better.

Good for you deciding to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. I'd agree a real classroom is preferable but on-line can work if no classes are available near you. You may find the camaraderie of your fellow students helps too.

I took my dgree and my masters degree at evening class..plus lots of other course. I find it helps me to focus on lessons and the interaction with other students really helpful...particularly if they ask questions of the teacher that you are not sure of. I do not work well at home and always went to a library to work on assignments. I would find jobs to do at home or the tv would atrract me to it...or my husband would talk to me! You have to work out which will suit you best, home or school. For me it is school but for my friend it was home. Where will you find it easier to work and find the help you need. Well done...I wish you every success......

Do you do a lot of reading? That will help with your spelling and understanding of punctuation and grammar. There a few spelling errors in here (e.g. a lot is two words not one) but the meaning is clear and the spelling is far better than that I see from many students. Doing crosswords - non-cryptic ones- can help too.
