Hello to you !
My name is Ivana, from Argentina, I'm 30 years old and I've been living abroad from my home country for 8 years. And I've been living in Japan for over a year now.
I have taught English in Japan to kids in a language school and Spanish and English to adults.
At the moment, I'm teaching online via Zoom or Skype in a bid to help to stop the spread of the Coronavirus.
I would like to provide you more details about the basis of the online lessons for adults:
~ 10 minutes - greeting time.
~ 10 minutes - lyrics of a song (chosen by the teacher or by student).
~ 10 minutes - grammar or vocabulary
~ 10 minutes - game
~ 5 minutes - short reading or respond questions.
A total of 45 minutes aprox.
(Is recommended to take lessons twice a week if you want to perceive better results.But if you need only once a week if good also)
Please rest assured that in case you would like to modify the time or any topic, we can also discuss about it.
For preschoolers the program is composed by:
~ 5 minutes - greeting time.
~ 5 minutes - singing together.
~ 10 minutes - science and/or game
~ 7 minutes - drawing and/or listen and repeat the reading.
~ 3 minutes - closing time.
Preschoolers lesson are designed to be shorter as the time they can be focus on a lesson is shorter than an adult.
Please have ready a paper and colour pen or crayons for the drawing time.
The time with toddlers can vary between 30 to 40 minutes.
The trial lesson is just a talk to see what at what level you are, and to hear if you have any specific topic you would like to learn about.
During the trial lesson, please do not worry if the level is either too easy or too high for you.
You can attend and see the flow of the class first. I will adapt it to your level during our second meeting to work from there.
If you have any other question regarding the lesson, please don't hesitate to ask me by e-mail.
Thank you for reading my message. Please keep yourself safe and healthy and I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Ivana
