THIS IS A 1:1 PRIVATE, ON-GOING CLASS that is focused on English conversational skills. It is intended for ESL students that have a basic understanding of the English language. Students should have a basic understanding of the 8 different parts of speech (noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection). and proper English sentence structure.**

I will tailor the content and pace of the class to the appropriate skill level of the student.

As an ESL teacher for 6 years and having taught almost 1,000 ESL students, I feel strongly that children learn a language best in an environment that feels natural, fun and engaging. In this weekly class, non-native English speakers will have fun practicing their English conversational, writing and listening skills by discussing different weekly themes. 

I will use pictures, questions and other prompts to generate fun, lively participation and interactions. Depending on the skill level of the student, classes may involve a short writing segment, where students will have the opportunity to practice their English writing skills.

In each class:
1.	I will provide  a list of vocabulary words related to the weekly theme. 
2.	Depending on skill level, we will focus on the 8 different parts of speech (noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, 
        conjunction, and interjection). **These concepts will be introduced at appropriate skill levels 
3.	We will focus on correct sentence structure through supportive feedback and correction. 
4.	Students will practice English writing skills by responding to theme-related prompts.
5.	Students will practice their English listening skills as they interact, respond and engage with other students.

I strive to create classes that are highly engaging and interactive. I want my students to look forward to coming to class and learn while having a great time. I am also thoughtful to each individual student's comfort level in the class. I will gently encourage them to participate and work hard, but not at a level that feels uncomfortable or overwhelming.
