Class Experience

Welcome to my ESL Tutoring Group class. A study showed that students who receive tutoring classes see an average increase of 12% in test scores and proficiency. My goal is to help students develop their English language skills whether they are beginners, intermediate, or advanced level students. Tutoring encourages students to gain confidence and practice their English speaking skills.


Week1 Alphabet, Vowels, and Special Letters 
This week's lesson will center on the alphabet, vowels, and special letters (ch, ll, ñ, rr) in Spanish. We will learn an alphabet and vowel song and use our acquired knowledge to play "Crack the Code," a mystery detective game.

Week 2: Numbers 11-20 
In our lesson this week, we will learn the numbers 11-20 (as well as review 1-10) in Spanish through the use of song and a number maze. Students will use the phrase ¿Cuánto cuesta? (How much does it cost?) to ask and state how much various items cost at the tienda de ropa (clothing store). 

Week 3: Question Words
This week we will discuss question words in Spanish, such as who, what, when, where, why, and how (quién, qué, cuándo, dónde, por qué, cómo). After reading the interactive story, "La rana pirata" (The Pirate Frog), learners will use questions words to talk about the characters, setting, and plot. Finally, we will complete a question word search together.

Week 4: Personal Pronouns
This week we will focus on the personal pronouns I, you, he, she, we, they (yo, tú, usted, él, ella, nosotros, ellos, ellas, ustedes) in Spanish. We will cut and paste pronouns in a matching worksheet and decide in what situations students should use "tú" versus "usted."

Week 5: Physical Descriptions 
This week's lesson will center on physical descriptions using the verb "ser" (to be) in Spanish. We will look at eye and hair color, as well as describing words such as short, tall (bajo, alto) and young, old (joven, viejo). The phrase "Él/ella es ___" (He/she is ___) will be taught to describe appearances. Students will play the classic game of "Guess Who?" with a twist!

Week 6: Prepositions 
In our lesson this week, we will learn about prepositions of place (to the right, to the left, on top, under, behind, in front, between, inside, outside), using the verb "estar" in Spanish. Student will interact with a video clip and play "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" by giving prepositional directions.

Week 7: Opposites 
This week we will focus on vocabulary related to opposites in Spanish (hot/cold, big/small, empty/full, sweet/sour, new/old etc). Students will do some hands-on learning with an opposites scavenger hunt, as well as a crossword puzzle.

Week 8: Storytelling with High Frequency Words
This week's lesson will center on storytelling with high frequency words in Spanish. Learners will first be introduced to a few key words and then apply their knowledge as they read "The Tortoise and the Hare." This interactive story allows the students to help create the plot along the way, so buckle up....it might get silly!

Week 9:  Sports and Sports Equipment
In our last week's lesson, we will learn about common sports (baseball, basketball, tennis, volleyball, soccer, gymnastics, etc.) in Spanish, as well as the phrase, "Juego al ___" (I play ___). Students will work together to complete an on screen sports quiz, cheering each other on to the finish line!
