  • I usually use 2 different methodologies for students: 1) free chat or 2) use of business articles

    For free chat, I focus the conversation as a interview type approach until we relate the conversation to their job/studies/life usage. When using articles, I try to select articles related to the goals of their English learning, typically their job or career and we use the readings as vocabulary expansion and speaking fluency. What techniques do other tutors here use?


    Best answer

    i also focus on free chat. the class is more effective when the students are able to talk about what they feel at that moment

  • Why do learners see writing as the most difficult skill?
    Best answer

    Hello there, The reason for this is because they have to think a lot about the grammar, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary and the meaning of each word. In addition to this, they may be worried about editing their work as opposed to speaking.

  • wanna know how to use on and at more especially when talking about time 😕?
    Best answer

    Knowing the difference between "on" and "at" can be kind of tricky sometimes, even for native speakers. When talking about time, I think people tend to be confused between when to use "on" vs "in" as well. It's a matter of how specific the time is. "At" is for a very specific time, exactly when something happens - at 3pm "On" is less specific but narrows down when some thing happens (date, day of the week) - on Monday - on Christmas (day) - on September 1st - on one's birthday "In" is least specific, used for a more general and broad time frame (year, season, time period) - in the 21st century - in 2023 - in the spring - in December - in the afternoon Example of all three: "She turned 21 this year, 'on' May 17th. Her birthday was 'on' a Friday but she had a party 'on' the Saturday following it. Her party was 'in' the evening and started 'at' 7pm." I hope this helps!
