'Yogurt' is the American/Canadian spelling and 'Yoghurt' is the UK spelling. If you are running a spell check in a word document, it will depend on what spell settings you are using on your PC. UK or USA. I also do content writing and when I write international articles, the company will tell me which spell settings are required.
Hi, "yogurt" is used most commonly in American spelling whereas "yoghurt" with an "h" is used in British spelling. The pronunciation is the same.
Hello there. "Yogurt" is the most common spelling. Yogurt is a noun that refers to a dairy food product that is usually eaten with breakfast or even a snack. "Yoghurt" is much more common in British English than in American English.

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.
