Question:
Are there any free resources you know of that could help me teach an aquaintance proper English..ie, verb conjugation, pronouncitation.
Question:
The Subject I am going to teach has no syllabus, no curriculum, it is a 2 year old program in school, the former teacher used no books had no sources to rely on and I am given the freedom to find anything I want to use. I would appreciate any tips on books, workbooks, printed materials, on-line resources I could check out and /or use to prepare for this challenge. The only thing I was told is that I am supposed to review key skills the students were supposed to acquire in their Elementary years. It is a little “broad” of a subject I would say, but any idea or tip can be a start. Thanks to all for your help!
What writing projects have you done in that past that were fun for that grad level? thanks.
Question:
I have a 4 and a 3 yr old , I was wondering if I can homeschool my kids. I speak Romanian and French and my English is ok but not perfect , I do not know a lot about education here in the US, but I heard the schools&teachers here don’t have high standards of education , not to mention the moral values in the schools today . I heard the students don’t have any respect for the teacher,are noisy in the classroom , they don’t learn too much , which made me think about homeschool , but I am not to confident I can do it, especially that I am not a teacher. I consider myself educated, I went to nursing college in Europe , and know a lot about History,Geography,Chemistry,Biology etc
but I still don’t know how to teach my kids and what they should learn . Also I have limited resources to buy curriculums when the public school is free. What do you think about public schools are they that bad?
Question:
Please share some ideas for teaching one to one English lessons.
These are pretty tough lessons to teach cuz the teacher/student usually feel they have to be *on* all the time.
What activities can I include to mix in with the lesson to make it more interesting and fun?
I’ve tried role plays that the student requested, and an Email session (where we write back and forth to each other for 5 mins rather than speaking).
Know any good resources or do you have ideas? Please share. Thanks.

Question:
I’ve been asked to tutor a 15 year old Korean in English and I am a little unsure as to what kind of lessons I should provide. The entire family seems to have only very basic English so it was a little difficult to find out what particular areas they wanted their child to learn, so I am thinking a general written and spoken English at a fairly basic level and obviously any help with current schoolwork that they struggle to understand. Can anyone recommend anything in particular I should concentrate on, lesson plans or resources etc?
I’ve never tutored before (apart from helping a number of foreign friends improve their english at Uni) but this appears a little more challenging and since I am getting paid I want to at least appear professional and organised.
A little more information.
Twiggy, I don’t plan to obtain a teaching degree. I was asked to help a family based on my reputation with helping fellow students polish their English in the past in a very informal way. This family is somewhat less skilled at English than I am used to dealing with as well as the student being a little younger which is why I have reservations about it. They seem to genuinely want my help, hence the offer to pay me (and god knows I could use the money). But if you legitimately believe this is a job best left to professionals I’ll take that as advice and consider recommending them to someone more qualified.
About my background. I’m a student currently nearing the end of the my degree in an English-related field (and doing very well) and the family are aware of this as well as the fact I am not a qualified teacher.
So my background is in English but not teaching hence my being a little unsure where to start with this student.
