📚 Digital Courses

What type of lessons do you offer?

My digital courses are designed for young ESL learners and include fun, interactive lessons that cover essential language skills—such as vocabulary, grammar, speaking, phonics, and listening. Each course follows a step-by-step structure, and includes videos, games, printable worksheets, and quizzes to help reinforce learning in an engaging way. These self-paced lessons can be accessed anytime and are great for both home learning and classroom support.

How do your digital courses work?

Once you purchase a course, you’ll get instant access to all the lessons inside a secure online classroom. Lessons are organized in a clear, easy-to-follow format. Students can work through the content at their own pace—replaying videos, completing quizzes, and downloading materials as needed. No special software is required; just a device with internet access.

Are the materials downloadable?

Yes! Many lessons come with downloadable worksheets, printables, and activity guides that students can use offline. These materials are designed to reinforce the digital lessons and provide extra practice.

Who are your digital courses for?

These courses are ideal for children learning English as a second language, especially beginners or early elementary learners. Whether your child is new to English or needs extra support, the lessons are designed to build confidence and core skills through age-appropriate activities and visuals. Parents and teachers can also use them as a supplement to tutoring or classroom lessons.

Can I take both 1:1 and digital courses?

Absolutely! Many families use the digital courses to reinforce what their child learns during 1:1 sessions. It’s a great way to practice between tutoring lessons or to stay on track during breaks. If you’re currently enrolled in tutoring, I can even recommend the best course to complement your child’s learning level.

Is there a refund policy for digital courses?

Because digital products provide instant access, I don’t offer refunds. However, I want every learner to benefit from the courses, so if you experience any issues, feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best to help!

💬 1:1 Tutoring

What materials are needed for the class?

For my online ESL classes, the primary materials students may need are a pen or pencil, and some paper. These are useful if students wish to take notes during the lesson. Since lessons are conducted online, a stable internet connection and a device such as a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer with a functioning camera and microphone are essential. Other than these, all learning resources and materials are provided during our lessons.

How long is each session?

Each of my ESL lessons lasts for 30 minutes. The frequency of these sessions is flexible and can be tailored to the student’s needs. As parents book the lessons individually, they have the freedom to determine the schedule that best suits their child’s learning pace and other commitments.

How do you assess student progress?

Assessing student progress is a vital part of my teaching approach. Each learning unit is divided into two phases. The first phase culminates in a mid-point review that allows me to evaluate the student’s understanding of the material covered so far. The second phase concludes with a comprehensive assessment at the end of the unit to measure the student’s grasp of the entire unit.

In addition, after each lesson, I provide personalized feedback to parents via email. This feedback highlights the student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and progress, ensuring that parents are continually updated on their child’s learning journey.

What type of lessons do you provide?

I provide comprehensive ESL lessons that encompass essential language skills, including reading, speaking, phonics, grammar, and listening comprehension. These core areas of focus form the foundation of my classes across all levels. For more advanced learners, writing is also introduced as a crucial part of their English language learning journey. My aim is to ensure that all my students develop a well-rounded understanding and proficiency in English, tailored to their specific learning level.

🌐 General Questions

What qualifications do you have?

I am a TEFL certified ESL teacher with over 9 years of online teaching experience. I’ve taught students at all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, equipping me to cater to diverse learning needs and help each student progress in their English language journey.

How does online ESL teaching work?

In my online ESL classroom, I use Zoom as my primary platform, providing a real-time, interactive learning environment. Classes are structured with learning slides that are tailored to each student’s level and cover essential skills such as reading, listening, speaking, and in upper levels, writing.

To make the lessons more engaging, I incorporate Total Physical Response (TPR) and Realia. TPR is a teaching method that combines physical movement with language learning, making the sessions more interactive and fun. Realia involves using real objects to teach about words and concepts, which helps to make the learning experience more practical and relatable for the students. This combination of techniques helps to make online learning engaging and effective, regardless of the student’s level.

Can parents support learning at home?

Parents play a critical role in supporting their child’s learning at home. Here are a few strategies that can be effective:

Encourage daily English practice: This could involve reading English books, watching English shows, or engaging in simple conversations in English.

  1. Provide a quiet and comfortable learning space: A conducive environment helps the child focus better during lessons.
  2. Show interest in their learning: Ask about what they learned and praise their efforts. This not only motivates them but also makes them more confident.
  3. Stay in touch with me: If your child is struggling with a particular lesson or concept, please let me know. I can then adjust my teaching approach to help them understand better.

These strategies can create a supportive learning environment at home that complements our online ESL classes.

What age range do you teach?

I specialize in teaching English to young learners, typically in the age range of 5 to 15 years old. With my years of experience and specialized methods, I am well-equipped to cater to the unique learning needs and styles of this age group, making the learning experience engaging, enjoyable, and effective.
