  • How would you define what ‘colour’ is to a child, in a way that they would understand ?
    Best answer

    Honestly, I never really thought about it, you say, it is red and they relate the color to the word, but defining it, takes it to a whole new level Thank you for sparking relative thoughts and how I can approach exactly that

    Hi Soraya, I was fortunate to activate my LiveXP account and the following day I had 2 students booked. One had booked a trial lesson and the other had booked 5 lessons. "If at first we don't succeed, try and try again" Have a look at your profile and ensure you are using attractive language that targets a broad field of students ranging from abilities that you can cater for. "Cast your net brave and far" Wish you all the best.

  • How would you describe a good tutor?
  • Languages you’ve found difficult and easy to learn?
  • What countries fascinate you the most? 😊
    Best answer

    Latin-American countries fascinate me the most, especially Mexico. In the modern day and age the country is overshadowed by the cartels but a lot of people tend to forget about their rich culture and history when doing research and learning.

  • What is the best way to make young students feel more comfortable in your class ?
    Best answer

    To be a teacher of young children, one must be like one of them. One needs to be a child as well. Have fun teaching, be silly, be kind, be funny and you will have them in the palm of your hand.

  • Share your best lesson experience on this platform 🙂 How was it? what was the lesson about?
  • What is the best way to teach grammar?
    Best answer

    Expressing that a particular way or technique is the most effective is challenging because what works for one student or group, may not work for others. Nevertheless, the following suggestions might prove useful: *Establish the context clearly and carefully before diving into the main lesson to ensure that students understand the objectives of the task; *Present the grammar by providing sample sentences, explanations, comparing and contrasting with the learners' native language (if possible), offer texts that highlight the target grammar; *Ultimately, the results should be evident in students' written and/or spoken production. Assessing their learning progress through "assessment for learning" can greatly assist in determining the extent to which learning has occurred. Finally, it is beneficial for teachers to reflect on the lesson, preferably immediately after it concludes -for higher retention- to be capable of preparing more productive lessons for the future.
