Level Placement:
**Learners will be placed in appropriate levels, parent can suggest level, but teacher may move student level if needed. Teacher ultimately holds the right to choose the level as it is important that students are in the correct level.
These classes can also be just free-talk/conversational classes at the specific request of parents. 
Learners are welcome to and encouraged to suggest topics for class, such request must be provided in writing to the teacher two days prior to class to allow teacher time to gather appropriate materials.

Teaching technique:

-	Screen shared documents  for student to work through with the teacher
-       Screen shared reading passages
-	Practice (accuracy/error correction)
-	Production in Conversation: using the language as fluently and naturally as possible

*TPR (Total Physical Response) used throughout the lessons, such as gestures and body language, simple and
clear instructions as well as level-appropriate language to keep the learners engaged and focused. 
*Error Correction and adjustment based on learners' abilities. 
*Use of props/flashcards and other teaching aids that enhance the class experience.
