  • Dear tutors

    I guess this has been answered before, but can you kindly recommend sites where student could study English grammar and tutors can get materials? With good enough exercises for students.

    Hi David, There are a few websites that I use from time to time when I need some materials. FOR STUDENTS (FREE): 1) learnenglishkids by British council - great for young learners, it has grammar explanations, listening, reading, vocabulary and grammar exercises. 2) oxford dictionary - for intermediate+ level students. They can read the definition and listen the pronunciation of the word they need. 3) YouTube - there are hundreds of amazing listening exercises free and ready to use (for different levels). They can use them on their own or together with you in a class. FOR TEACHERS (FREE): 1) ISLcollective - amazing site with thousands of ready to use worksheets, flash cards, PowerPoints and printables. 2) englishwsheets - another great resourse with lots of ready ti use worksheets. 3) liveworksheets - and one more of that kind. :D +textbooks for both TUTORS and STUDENTS: (Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy, Destination (B1,B2), Grammar by Betty Azar, Vocabulary in use etc.)

  • Do vs make. When i should use do and when make?
    Best answer

    remember that when we MAKE, we CREATE (it was not there before, and now it is, after we MAKE it, we CREATE something NEW.) For example, I take all the ingredients for a cake, and I MAKE the cake. The cake was not there before, now it is, because I MADE/CREATED it. When we DO something, this is an ACTION, we are not making something new. I hope this helps.

  • Dear Tutors

    Which countries culture have you found the most Amazing all this years traveling around the world?


    Best answer

    Thailand has been a country that I've always wanted to go back to. I briefly visited in my twenties and I found everything so interesting. Also I lived in the Philippines for a couple of years and learned so much from the locals. Everywhere I've visited seems to offer something unique. But people are still people. Good and bad. I says always look for the good and be aware of the bad.
