Our Side by Side STORY RIDE with Christine and Poppy

From 20.98 £ /h

Story: I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A PIE
Theme: Sequencing for our comprehension and DESSERT! Come prepared to discuss your favorite dessert!

Who is ready for some pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving coming up? We find out that the old lady does in the book, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie., does love PIE! This is a funny story about an old lady with a HUGE appetite. Based on the classic book about the old woman who swallowed a fly, this retelling with a twist features an old lady attending a Thanksgiving dinner who swallows a pie, then a whole squash, and the rest of the things she ate will surprise you. We will be working on comprehension, specifically sequencing. The ability to sequence events in a text is a key comprehension strategy. It enables retelling, which in turn enables summarizing. It promotes self-monitoring and rereading.We sequence all day long as we decide what we need to do first, second, and last. We understand events in our lives by understanding the order in which they occur. I look forward to sharing this book with you.

Mindfulness and Well-being for Children to Reach Their Full Potential

26.41 £ /h

Learning mindfulness is an important piece in any life. It helps us to learn coping skills that will be able to integrate as they develop. This class introduces the practice of mindfulness, movement, visualization and expression. Mindfulness is practicing the ability to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness of an individuals experience and present circumstances. This class includes an active yoga practice, breathing strategies, exercise and a drawing activity for ages 6-10 years old. We believe that practicing mindfulness is a life skill as well as an academic skill. This evidence based approach of learning brings an increased development of focus, self-awareness, empathy and coping skills. This class consists of 3 building blocks of information to fully allow the child to fully engage and retain. We look forward to seeing you in class!

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Conversational Spanish is a very important part of the learning as it is the natural way to learn it. My classes are designed to help students to learn in a natural way by choosing a topic and dealing with that topic from all angles: grammar, speaking, listening and translating. That helps students to gradually absorb what they are studying. I usually conduct a relaxing lesson where students feel they can improve and learn at their own pace.
Even if you are an absolute beginner you will be able to speak some Spanish by the end of the first lesson.

A brief note: Since lessons are online, it is best to use a lapto/computer rather than a phone to enjoy the full experience.

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.
