It's generally better for a teacher to be confident and outgoing, as this can help create a positive and engaging learning environment for students. Shy students may benefit from having a teacher who is more outgoing and can help them come out of their shells and build their confidence.
- What is the verb tense or sentence structure you struggle the most with?
Hey beloved students, Let us know what you struggle the most with in terms of verb tenses and sentence construction. You do not need to use the terminology - simple present, simple past, present perfect, past perfect, passive voice, subordinated sentences, conditionals etc etc etc. Leave that for us, teachers -, you can answer by giving us an example. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Teachers/Tutors, You're more than welcome to tell us from your experience what you believe your students struggle the most with. Roddy
- Hi guys🌻 What is difference between phrase and clause ??
with example
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Hi Aris, Phrases and clauses are some of the divisions which a sentence consists of. They both are group of words which functions together in a sentence, in order to give the reader information, quality, time perspective, action(verb) in a sentence. Sentence: Rodrigo, my brazilian ESL tutor, is from Brazil. Clause: Rodrigo(subject) is(verb) from Brazil(predicate) phrase: my brazilian ESL tutor. A phrase never stands up on its own - they give extra information about the subject but it doesn't make up for a sentence. Roddy

One of my students, who has ADHD, was running around during our session and ended up slipping and falling. Luckily, he was fine and didn't get hurt. His laughter really brightened up my day! 😄
- I want to know about English
Speaking course, reading, watching movies, and listening music
- Controversial as it may be, here we go: Is shadowing indeed effective?
Students have been crazy about the so-called shadowing technique. I myself particularly feel quite skeptical about it and keep asking myself: What's gonna happen if students believe by repeating sentences is the way to master a new language? Where will coherence, cohesion and complex sentence structures stand at?
- what are some common examples of complex sentence structures with subordinate clauses?

- She studied hard because she wanted to get good grades. - SUBORDINATE CLAUSE: "because she wanted to get good grades" - Since I don't have any plans this weekend, we could go to the beach. - SUBORDINATE CLAUSE: "Since I don't have any plans this weekend"
- What are students most anxious about? Pronunciation? Grammar? Vocabulary? Sentence structure?
Hey y'all What are your students most anxious about? Beloved students, what concerns you the most? Food for thought.
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
My English language students are most anxious about pronunciation and speaking. To help them overcome these fears, I incorporate various speaking activities in every lesson. These activities include role-plays, discussions, debates, and presentations. I also provide feedback and correction on their pronunciation during speaking tasks and offer tips on how to improve specific sounds or intonation patterns. Additionally, I encourage my students to practice speaking outside of the classroom through language exchange programs or conversation partners. Regular exposure to the language and opportunities for speaking practice help build their confidence and improve their overall communication skills:)
- Tip of the day 🥷🏾 Insecurity is power, it drives you to better yourself and your skills. feed it.

I strongly disagree. It's far better to be secure in yourself and derive motivation from the desire to be even better and in turn have a better life in general. I say be secure in yourself, feed the healthy human desire for development.
- Are Present and Past Perfect skeletons in your closet? We have got to get them out of there!
Some of my fellow brazilian students have a very hard time using Present and Past Perfect properly - it goes without saying that when it is "continous" it gets even trickier for them. As a Brazilian, I do recognize this has lots do with their mother tongue not having anything similar - even worse, if they get a shot at translating it, it sounds horrible in Portuguese. My strategy along all these years dealing and teaching English HAS BEEN towards showing them that the key element to understand and use the aforementioned verb tenses is to understand their application some determining factors in a sentence that indicate the use of Present / Past Perfect. 1) I have been teaching FOR OVER 5 years 2) I'd just gotten home WHEN you called me (just // when - one action happening before the other) the list goes on and on and on. Food for thought: What is the sentence structure you struggle the most with?

The reason bhind the difficulty is using direct translation, and it always comes out wrong.
