Kids cartoon movies keeps you laughing and understanding the pronunciation of simple English words
Watching La La Land (2016) - a romantic musical film with modern dialogue and poetic lyrics. Prefer watching movies with - English subtitles - A dictionary or online resource for unfamiliar words - Pause and rewind to catch phrases or sentences - Repeat phrases and sentences to practice pronunciation To sharpen my mind to be the best tutor to my students 🙂
I would have to say, Othello. I always had issues with "Thy" and "Good morrow". So reading Othello was a mission until my then-high school teacher translated it to modern English. To this day, Othello is my favourite Shakespeare works.
The Lion King, Big bang theory, Dr House, Sheldon and the series Friends.
I always recommend the two TV series Friends and The Office to my students. Their sense of humor will never make you feel bored :)
Some movies that helped me progress faster include “Forrest Gump” for its clear and simple language, and “The King’s Speech,” which showcases formal and conversational English beautifully.
Pulp Fiction , The Thing , John Carpenters Vampires , Blade , Dogma , The Sopranos , House MD......
There are many movies to choose from to help improve your English and it's important that the student chooses which one they would like but I would choose a family orientated movie like Lion King or Home alone

I prioritize an open-door policy, allowing my students to feel at ease when they want to discuss questions or concerns with me. I think this availability really helps to build trust and enhance our student-teacher relationship:)
