My first lesson was very different from my most different one. I was quite nervous at first, but it went better than expected. Now, I feel much more confident and comfortable, and I have learned how to tailor my teaching to meet my students' need effectively

Independent Clause: A complete thought that can stand alone as a sentence. It has a subject and a verb. For example: "I went to the store." Dependent Clause: Cannot stand alone as a sentence because it doesn't express a complete thought. It also has a subject and a verb but needs an independent clause to make sense. For example: "Although I went to the store." Dependent clauses often begin with words like because, although, if and when.

For B1-B2 reading practice, I often take articles from the BBC. For A1-A2 reading, I use articles from the British Council. The British Council is also a great resource for ideas of grammar lessons and vocabulary lessons. For listening lessons, I usually search on Youtube for 2-3 minute videos about a topic that the student is interested in.

Lifelong learning is something I wholeheartedly embrace, and teaching English provides me with endless opportunities for personal and professional growth. Each student offers a fresh challenge and a different perspective, and by guiding them through the English language, I also improve my own teaching skills. It’s incredibly satisfying to learn alongside my students:)

I believe that pronunciation is best taught in context. I often integrate pronunciation practice into my vocabulary and sentence construction sessions. For example, when I introduce a new word, I demonstrate its correct pronunciation by breaking it into syllables, and then I have the students repeat it in a sentence. This technique helps them learn not only the sounds but also the rhythm and intonation that come with natural speech:)

I prioritize flexibility in my teaching methods, adapting my lessons based on how students are responding. If I see that something isn’t effective, I’m quick to pivot and find a different approach that works for them:)

Great question, I'd have to go with the Liverpool accent, I love listening to the guys from Liverpool speak especially when they're getting excited over something such as a game of football. Lfc. "You'll never walk alone ".

The first part of your second sentence is okay, how about changing the last part to "the magic awaits you"

Just be aware that using "since" might make the timeline feel a bit awkward, as it usually suggests a starting point that continues to the present. A clearer way to put it would be: "I have not received any letters from him since he moved to Cairo."
