This would depend on the student's level but using graded readers to practice reading out loud is usually interesting to students of any ability.

Anything interactive and fun or a brain-teaser

I would love activity and task ideas for tutoring 1 to 1 online? 

Making charts for students to pronounce words and finding different games that is educational for them to learn as well.

im looking mainly for ideas for older students so adults, but also welcome to ideas for kids lessons. I find it much easier to come up with an array of ideas and make my kids lessons very interactive but its more for adults especially those that stay long-term and i feel sometimes like i need more ideas, thankyou everyone who responded

How old is student, what level is student at, then you will know which interactive tasks or brainteasers to give.

Regardless of the level, I consider any of these activities effective to start with:

1. Kahoot
2. Virtual Scavenger hunt
3. Escale room-style puzzle
4. Language learning games, such as Duolingo or Rosetta stone
5. Brain teasers
6. Virtual field trips

The list goes on.

My experience includes teaching and training fellow colleagues on systems  and technical knowledge during my  career in the financial sector, for approximately 40 years.
Preparing for such types of teaching or training prepared me for teaching English to young learners
Volunteer teaching for those less fortunate is top on my list and currently  have 3 such students.

Every student who has an interest in learning English, is fully capable of mastering the English Language. Every student's needs are different.. I consider their ages, goals, interests and  levels. I combine these factors to the student's character, personality, learning ability and specific need, to tailormake each one's lesson plan , making it a perfect fit  for each student. This  fosters a climate that allows the student to feel comfortable  and be interactive during lessons, and rise the their full potential,

Making a difference in your life to reach personal success through dedicated teaching and guidance.

Hi, I'm John & I've been a teacher since 1995 (& a tutor for the previous 4 years when I went to university). I'm a world traveler & I now work as a freelance writer, author, poet, & online teacher. I chose this life because I love meeting people & I wouldn't change any of it.

If you're looking for a relaxed & patient teacher, look no further. If you're looking for someone to challenge you & test your limits, look no further. Confused yet? Don't be; I base my teaching style on my students' needs & goals, so how I teach a class depends on the student. I just need to know what your goals are. If you're not sure what they are, I can help you figure that out, too.

I have a lot of interests we can talk about (Tai Chi & martial arts, home cooking, reading, movies, photography & most outdoor activities). If you don't like these, tell me about your hobbies. The best way to learn something is to teach it, so teach me about your hobbies in English. You can do it!

About my skills and experience:
* I'm CELTA certified and I have a Bachelors degree in English Literature.
* I began teaching in 1995; before that I was a volunteer tutor for several years.
* I have taught overseas in South Korea (3 years), China (12 y

My teaching style:
How I teach each class depends on the student's goals. I can teach speaking & pronunciation, vocabulary & idioms; I sometimes teach grammar. If there's something specific you'd like to study, let me know & we can talk about how I can help you.

My lessons are usually informal, unless a student asks me to teach intensive English classes (which I have done). I generally limit my speaking to asking leading questions, to support & encourage my students speaking efforts; if our conversations are topic based (for example, movies), I may talk slightly more to share information, but my primary goal is to get you talking & provide feedback on your successes and your weaknesses.

I like teaching tongue twisters, because they're fun for both of us & good for improving pronunciation. I don't teach writing skills, though, just speaking. If you'd like to work on improving your reading & listening skills, we could do that as well (many students struggle with listening).

Break Down Complex Ideas: Start with the basics and gradually build up to more complex ideas. Use simple language, analogies, and examples that relate to students' everyday experiences.
Encourage Active Learning: Ask questions, encourage group discussions, and give students hands-on activities. This ensures that they are engaging with the material in a way that reinforces learning.
Repeat Key Concepts: Repetition helps reinforce what students have learned. Rephrase important ideas in different ways and give examples to ensure understanding.
Provide Real-World Examples: Show how the material applies in real-life situations. This contextualizes the learning and helps students see its value outside the classroom.

As an English language teacher, I help students improve their skills in reading, writing, speaking,
