[ English Lessons for Kids ]


[ Language approach ]
teach in English by default, kids absorb faster through context and repetition. Fall back to the native language only briefly, for instructions they genuinely can't follow, then return to English immediately to keep exposure consistent.

[ Questions ]
I always ask these questions before we even start with lesson, so I get an idea of the level of the student and their motivation.
Age and school grade
Current English level (beginner / basic / advanced) any prior lessons?
Goal: school support, exam prep, or general confidence/speaking?
Known weak spots (grammar, vocab, speaking, pronunciation)?
Frequency & length (e.g. 1x90min or 2x45min/week)
Location: in-person, at their place, or online?
Preferred start date
School textbook/materials to align with, if any

[ First lesson? ]
always do a quick informal level-check (intro, past/present tense, short reading + comprehension) rather than relying only on the parent's estimate. This helps set realistic expectations from day one and avoids over- or under-pacing the first few weeks.

[ Lesson structure ]
I do this every session. warm-up ? grammar/skill focus ? guided practice ? game ? wrap-up. Keeps it consistent and fun without separating "grammar time" from "game time", the game reinforces the same target, so learning feels playful rather than repetitive or lecture-heavy.

[ 1–3 month arc ]
Month 1: everyday topics, present simple, past simple, confidence-building
Month 2: future forms, descriptions, storytelling, reading comprehension
Month 3: opinions/comparatives, review, small final project (story, presentation, or role-play)


[ Pace flexibly ]
Slower learners may need extra weeks per stage, while confident students can move faster or add extension activities like short writing tasks or vocabulary journals.
