Giving YOU the chance to SPEAK!!

How does it work? 

My online lessons are different from your traditional Skype lesson. There is no webcam*, so you don't need to feel awkward. I use presentation slides to help the lesson flow. I also use a program called Zoom which works like a virtual classroom. With a combination of engaging slides, useful information, my voice, and your listening and speaking skills, you can expect a very productive lesson.

*i will introduce myself on camera in the first lesson.

SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEAK

All lessons have been planned with the same objective, to maximise your opportunity to speak and build on your vocabulary and expressions while correcting any mistakes you might make during a lesson. You can also get ready for the first lesson by reading this

Here are the steps of your online english lesson...

Agree

Agree on a time and day for your online lesson.

Incoming link

I send you a Zoom link 10 minutes before the lesson start time. If we use Skype, I will call you just before 

Click to start

You click the link sent to your email or Skype and join. You can connect with a computer, tablet, or phone as there is a Zoom app.

Hello...

You will be greeted with a welcome slide and a 'hello, how's it going.' from me

Topics

The lesson will have a different topic each time, so for example Men and Women could be the topic of the lesson.

Generating conversation 

One slide might have a picture of a married couple which might generate a conversation on how people get married, what they do before the marriage, and perhaps why people get divorced. Another slide, usually in the middle of the lesson, might look at some vocabulary connected with relationships, for instance, to break up, to make up, to propose. After looking at these words, we will try and use them in conversation and again try and build a conversation from them, so you feel comfortable using them in your own English.

Rounding up

Towards the end of the lesson (and throughout) I'll refer to my notes on any mistakes, or things to come back to

End

The lesson finishes.

Post lesson

You get an email from me with all of the words and expressions we've talked about during the lesson with some extra ones too, all in context to help you revise.
