P is for Personalization and Private one-to-one lessons. But what about larger groups?

14 de fevereiro de 2023

by Michele Schwertner

A long time ago, I wrote a blog post here talking about the perks and perils of being a private teacher. At that time, I had been teaching private classes for just one year. I have mostly taught one-to-one lessons since 2017, even though I have now been a private teacher for 10 years. Although...Read More

It’s the first day of class! New students, new opportunities, new mindset… (Maybe even a new school!) It can be quite scary. It’s on the first day that we get a glimpse of how our year is going to be. What is more, I dare say, it’s on the first day of class that we...Read More

I’ve Found My Pot of Gold

12 de março de 2020

by Henrique Zamboni

March is here! It’s time to start thinking about how to bring St. Patrick’s Day into our schools and classes. Needless to mention how important this date is when we talk about cultural aspects of the English language. After all, many English-speaking countries celebrate it.

Dealing With Teenagers’ Demotivation in The Classroom

16 de agosto de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

One of the biggest concerns among teachers who work with teenagers is that they seem to be demotivated most of the time. It’s often said that teenage students don’t participate in classes so enthusiastically or don’t show interest in the activities. While that may be true, it will rarely happen to the whole group. Even...Read More

by Henrique Zamboni

Students’ real-world contact with English plays hands down a more realistic role in the development of their skills, rather than the few hours they spend in the classroom. Taking this into account, it is high time teachers worked as mediators between learners and their (desirable) daily exposure to the language. But is it enough to...Read More

16 de junho de 2019

by Henrique Zamboni

Have you ever changed your lesson plan (or part of it) halfway through due to students’ lack of engagement? And have you ever regretted changing it because students asked you to do something different in class? If you answered yes for both questions, you face the same dilemma that we do; which is how much...Read More

Listen, are you really teaching listening? (Part 1)

10 de junho de 2019

by Fabiana Muliterno

Before I start this post, I must warn you: this was NOT written by someone who has great expertise on this area. It was elaborated by someone who, like many other teachers, have an inquisitive mind and a wish to make students’ language-learning path a bit less of a bumpy ride. I am also not...Read More
