How do you teach grammar to a student?
3 answers from our tutors
To teach grammar, start with the basics and use clear explanations, visual aids and practice exercises. Make it interactive through games and real-life examples. Be patient, provide feedback and adapt to the students learning style. It will help them build a strong grammar foundation and help them build on their language skills.
Hi Gillian, I teach grammar by giving students sentences in real-life situations and helping them apply the grammar rules in the context.

I feel that it is important to try and elicit the grammar point from the student first, and then give them the name and an explanation of this grammar point, concept checking along the way. To practice the point, I find it useful to give my students various worksheets to complete, and also to play a little game using the point as well. In the following lesson, I give my students a little activity about the previously done grammar point to review it and make sure that they still understand.

One memorable moment was with a five year old girl who barely spoke any English. I introduced a puppet to the student and the puppet made silly mistakes and the little found it hilarious and began correcting the puppet, which in turn helped her learn and pratice the words out loud. It was such an exciting and memorable time for me because the little girl began to speak to me and enjoyed learning the English language with me.

Hi there, I am also new here! I think the students have to choose you. When you get your first student here, make sure that you are 100% prepared, so they can choose you again. I know that you almost never know what to expect but what I do know is that you must always be calm and go with the flow, be confident and authentic. Good luck ladies, we are in the same boat. I know that with a positive mindset we can achieve anything. I have also started reading through Tutor studio, there is allot of useful information there.

A concrete noun is an actual, physical object such as a house, a dog, or an apple. Whereas, an abstract noun is an idea, quality or state such as love, truth, or happiness.
