In this fun multiday weekly (x6) class, students will have opportunity in class to create a fun story. Each learner will be given random words (a mix of items and verbs via flashcards) during the lesson, and they will have a set amount of time (countdown timer clock), to create their mini stories. At the end of the set time, each student will be given the opportunity to read and share their creations. Week 1: 3 words given + 1 verb + 1 weather scenario (ie: rainy, windy, stormy, sunny) Week 2: 3 words given + 2 verbs + 1 scene (ie: forest, desert, beach, castle, farm, ocean) Week 3: 4 words given + 1 verb + 1 color Week 4: 5 words given + 2 verbs + weather scenario (ie: rainy, stormy, sunny, windy) Week 5: 5 words given + 1 verb + 1 clothing article Week 6: 6 words given + 2 verbs + 1 food item This gives the learner a chance to develop skills of articulation during the class with some guidance. Articulation involves using correct and proper pronunciation, grammar, and using an appropriate tone/volume, and rate of speech. This can also refer to the physical abilities necessary when forming sounds and words. The more you practice speaking, the better you will become at it. I will be listening for correct pauses at the end of sentences, or with commas within paragraphs, as well as how each word is used and pronounced. When story-telling, you must also vary your pitch and tone up or down to match an exaggerated statement of excitement, as well as sad or unhappy note. Students will have the chance to use their imagination and create a fun story of their own during the class. This is also a great way to build confidence when speaking in front of others. There are no wrong stories in this class. :) Let's have fun together! It's story time! I will be providing feedback on students in areas I see needing more practice. Mrs Natalie

*Note, I do not change class time for daylight saving time on my end, as my time does not change*
Note for another commitment, I am unable to teach on the following days: Feb 6-15, 2025.
My Name is Natalie. I am a Canadian from a small town in Canada, that is lovely during the summer. I love to travel, so after obtaining a TEFL 120 hour certification, I teach online to be able to have flexibility to explore our great world a lot more and meet many international students.
*I have opened auto scheduling so book as you wish* NOTE, I do not work on Mondays or Tuesdays.
I have visited so many countries, and now I am visiting and exploring South Africa with husband (where we can avoid the cold Canadian winters - although snow can be so beautiful to watch, these days I like snow on postcards). I love animals and photography.
Some of the animals I am very lucky to see most often are: zebra, giraffe, nyala, impala, waterbuck, kudu, civets, genets, porcupines at night, leopards, lions, elephants, cheetah, hyena, jackals, mongoose, plated lizards, tortoises to name a few and plenty of birds! Animal paradise I call it! Some even visit during class time, and I can show you if any arrive.
I did a long 10-month backpacking trip through Central America (I even wrote a book about it), which made me realize, that there are so many countries I still need to travel to, explore, and visit. I got to meet so many amazing people. I did a lot of volunteer work along the way as well as house and pet sit which was so fun!
I had a corporate job for 18 years in a large hospital, as an administrator, but in 2018, I decided that I wanted to travel a lot more, thus teaching online was my answer.
I am teaching ESL/English online , as well as other subjects about animals, bugs and creatures, and love teaching children (an even young adults). I want my students to have lots of fun while learning something new. I have taught over 4000 lessons.
Fun fact: I have a twin sister which is also lots of fun! Still to this day, people mix us up.
I can talk endlessly on animals. I love them.
From me, you can learn about animals, bugs, photography, ESL, writing and reading practice, and have fun while learning.
I would love to see you in my class. I have opened auto scheduling so you can find a class that suits your schedule, so book away!
Until then...
Have a great day,
Mrs. Natalie
