ESL tutoring for parents and private tutors
Games, role-play, skits… by far the best approach for successful and fun 1:1 teaching
Individual lessons can be beneficial for students and more rewarding for teachers. When you know what the student needs and how to achieve that goal, you can target your one-on-one lessons to produce more rapid results. However, one-on-one lessons aren’t quite as cut and dry as you might expect. Figuring out the appropriate structure, content and overall teacher-student dynamic can be challenging when you’re used to classrooms or group lessons.
