**Please contact me if you need a different day, time, or format.  I would be happy to create a class or set of classes to fit your schedule.**

In this private, ongoing course, learners will have the opportunity to practice their English speaking skills with an experienced online ESL teacher.  Learners and their parents can help to determine the focus of each class.  Props and fun activities will be provided to help with discussions.  We will focus on the learner speaking as much as possible.  There will not be a slideshow provided for these classes.

We can discuss many different things in one class, depending on the learner's preference.  I will have a variety of props and topics available to keep the conversation going.  These include, but are not limited to: hobbies, animals, seasons, weather, food, clothes, emotions, sports, money, and places in a neighborhood.  We can also practice reading skills if the learner would like.

Prior to our first class, I will contact you to discuss focus areas and goals.
