  • Difference between Creak and creek?
    Best answer

    Both words are homophones(words that sound the same but have different meanings). Creak: a noun or a verb meaning a squeaking or grating sound that can be linked to an object being worn out. An example in a sentence would be: I tried to sneak into the house late last night and the old floorboards creaked under my feet. You can also use the word "creak" to show how an object moved, "creaking along", meaning it moved at a slow gentle pace, as would a worn-out or old object. Example: The show creaked along to a boring and uninteresting end. Creek: a stream of water similar to a river but much smaller. In a sentence: The boys waded in the creek. When used in an idiom: "Being up a creek without a paddle" means "you are in trouble and have no solution in sight".

  • In your experience as a teacher and tutor, what do you think makes learning challenging for students

    I mean what are the things that prevents a student from assimilate fast and easily?


    Best answer

    As a teacher I have picked up that not all students are able to learn the same way. Some students prefer visual aids while some may prefer audio. As a teacher you should definitely include all learning styles into every lesson you set out. By not doing this is how you lose the attention of your students which results in them not understanding what is being taught to them.
