I love making language come to life and I hope I can help you enjoy learning English QUICKLY with new ideas. My lessons & teaching style
I like to use a variety of teaching styles to find out what works best for each learner, these include:
Visual - images, flashcards and graphs to spark conversation and improve vocabulary.
Audio - audio clips and short videos that enhance classroom topics.
Written - once writing, I encourage learners to write and practice as much as possible.
Movement - sometimes jumping, clapping and acting helps us learn quicker.
Games - I enjoy turning learning activities into games so that we can learn without even noticing it!

Today's topic was Coffee Culture. We started with match words to their definitions, I practised reading an article on the PDF, then we talked about coffee and other drinks. I was very happy to see her again because I took a week off last week.

In today's lesson, 'Communication is not that easy' was our discussion. We discussed questions from the PDF that Lara sent to me, I completed the tables with words that can be matched and filled in some sentences with the correct form of the verbs on the table.

Rise of the mammone is a very interesting topic. Lara sent me a video link and a PDF to check before the lesson. We talked about the video for approximately 25 minutes then continued to understand some words. The lesson isn't finished yet because Lara has an urgent thing to do, so we'll continue discussing this topic in the next lesson.
