文法ワールドトラベラーズ - 1年生と2年生向けの1年間総合コース

Note: This is for three days a week.

Welcome to "Grammar World Travelers" a thrilling and interactive grammar course designed for first and second graders who are ready to embark on a linguistic adventure around the world! In this thematic grammar class, we explore various exciting themes that not only make learning grammar fun but also broaden our understanding of the world.

As your dedicated Visual Teacher with 30 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a passion for making learning enjoyable. The course employs a dynamic mix of teaching methods to cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that every student can grasp the intricacies of grammar with ease.

Throughout the course, students will engage in writing assignments that complement the grammar lessons, reinforcing their understanding of language structure. Handouts, online games, puzzles, short videos, and other multimedia resources will be utilized to create a vibrant and immersive learning experience.

One of the unique features of this course is its thematic approach, allowing students to travel the world through grammar. Each theme presents new grammar concepts in a context that sparks curiosity and creativity. Whether we're exploring the rainforests, discovering ancient civilizations, or venturing under the sea, grammar becomes a tool for understanding and expressing our adventures.

Rest assured, as the Visual Teacher, I am committed to meeting each student at their individual level. If you feel your child isn't quite ready, worry not—I will closely monitor and assist each child as needed, fostering an environment where every student can succeed. By the end of each class, our young grammarians will not only have a solid grasp of grammar but also a sense of accomplishment and joy in their linguistic journey.

Students can join at any time.  They will be given the proper instruction so that they will be able to complete the assignments.

I offer this course twice a week and three times a week. If you enroll for twice a week, then your child will get two days of instruction which usually includes more interactive activities and writing.  If you sign up for three days a week, then your child will receive the complete lesson activities for the topic for that week. You can enroll your child at any time because the weeks do not build on each other.  I will consistently remind the students about the various parts of speech that has been taught over the weeks.  If your child enrolls in a two or three day course and they have missed a class or two during that week, you will be sent a class recording to ensure that the student has what they need for the next class.
