Class Experience

I will quickly assess the English language ability of your child and specifically  tailor the lesson to them.  I will encourage conversation and assist your child with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation  as needed.  Depending on the ability  and age of the child, I will incorporate different games and props to facilitate learning.  Because this is a private class, I have  flexibility  to work with your child at their current skill level.  I have extensive experience teaching English as a...

This class is taught in English.

During each lesson we will strive to improve your child's  English and make them more comfortable speaking.   For new learners, this might involve how to greet people, recite numbers or repeat short sentences.  For students with some English familiarity, I will help them become more comfortable expressing themselves to native English speakers so they can feel more included in their surroundings.  For middle level students, we will carry on short conversations about any topic of interest and I will assist with grammar and pronunciation as needed.  For advanced students, we will discuss a more complicated   topic and I encourage the use of topic specific vocabulary, synonyms, various verb tenses and proper intonation. During our lesson I will continually assess comprehension, and encourage questions.  Many students sign up for this class several times a week for continuity in their learning. I aim to make this class fun, relaxing and rewarding.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
