Picture books are the most effective way to get the young learners speaking. I use Cambridge Starters, Movers and Flyers wordlist picture books. 

What do you find the most effective teaching methods for teaching completely new students that can only respond with yes or no with no real understanding.
Do you find using pictures for really young learners work best?

First time English students 

Visual aids, like pictures, can indeed be highly effective, but combining them with other strategies often yields the best results.
Repetition and Routine, repeating key words, phrases, and actions consistently to build familiarity.

You can elicit the vocabulary you want to teach by presenting that on the board or showing them pictures and trying to make them repeat after you and create simple sentences with those vocabs.

For begginer students, it can be a little challenging but with patience both you and your student can achieve anything. I use pictures, and I try to familiarise myself with their native language(google translate) and when I say a specific word in english I sometimes translate it to their language( example,    day- Gun...) I also along with these two methods, use body language, younger students love this and I have seen learn faster and easier.

I enjoy reading, exploring new cultures, and traveling, which helps me connect with students from around the world. I love learning about different languages and traditions, and in my free time, I often try cooking dishes from various countries. I’m also passionate about music. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy staying active by hiking,playing basketball or going for walks, and I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge, whether it’s through courses, books, or connecting with others in the ESL community.

I embarked on my educational journey in IT engineering from 2013 to 2017, which sharpened my analytical skills and introduced me to the world of algorithms and systems.

Professionally, I have been part of an innovative start-up called Wernoca since 2021. At Wernoca, we break down language barriers by teaching English and Persian to learners across the globe. It's a role that not only challenges me but also allows me to make a meaningful impact on others' lives.
