Beginner Level
Hello, and welcome to my ESL classroom! I am Teacher Daniel, an experienced and certified teacher with a degree in English Literature, and seven years of teaching experience both online and offline, with over 7000 classes taught to students all around the world. These experiences have yielded an understanding and love for teaching that goes beyond the general knowledge taught in university, and has given me insights into teaching that have allowed me to craft unique and engaging classes for all learners. This course welcomes all level of language learners whether your child is a beginner or an advance speaker. This is a one-on-one ESL course, where students will receive individualized instruction, crafted to cater around each child's individual learning style and pace. The goal of this course is to build upon the students English foundation, by building vocabulary, strengthening confidence, improving fluency, practicing grammar and increasing proficiency. The first lesson will be primarily conversation, where I will gauge the student's English speaking level. After the first session, and the student's level has been determined, we will begin the next session with an assessment to properly place the student into their English level ranging from pre A0-C2. The program that I have and will provide to the student and parent is the "Cambridge Unlock 2nd Edition Reading, Writing and Critical Thinking" as well as the Cambridge Unlock 2nd Edition "Listening, Speaking and Critical Thinking," both of which contain a variety of lessons, exercises and activities ranging from power points, writing activities, discussion lessons, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, advanced reading for critical thinking, interactive games...and much more. After the lesson I will provide homework that I have created in order to supplement the lesson and make sure the information is converted from short - long-term memory. =) This course is designed for the long-term; it is meant to guide any student, from any level, into full fluency, but it will take time, dedication, and effort. The amount of lessons each week (of course is determined by the parent), but, if there are any immediate or specific goals that need to be met by a specific time, then I also am capable provide structured lessons to achieve specific goals within specified time-frames - if necessary =). My lessons are very structured, yet flexible. Each student is a very unique individual, therefore, I remain open to immediate adjustment/scaling of the lesson if I notice a need not being met, an interest piqued, a point not understood, etc. I hope to see you in class soon!

Pre-Requisites
