As the students started entering the classroom, my mind was just running towards the unknown queries I may have to face. But, gradually I understood that to have an answer to all questions was a very wrong expectation to keep from oneself. The...  [Read more]

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences How to Become a Self-Confident TEFL Teacher Self-confidence is not an easy trait to gain, especially when we talk about teachers.

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas How to Help Children Become a Strong Reader As language acquisition through immersion goes, reading is positively amazing. Where movies may help with attitude and tone, reading allows us to see the words, form visual connections between them, and familiarise ourselves with spelling, punctuation, and structure. The best results, of course, are seen in readers who do it for pleasure, and for whom the point of reading is not simply to be done with it. How, then, do we get our children to read for fun when most of them seem to dread it? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Smaranda E.

Thu, 30 May 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Volunteer Teaching: Why I Decided to Become a Volunteer Teacher For the past several years I have been working for a non-profit company that provides high-quality daycare and preschool education for financially disadvantaged children.

Part of my responsibility is to conduct an intake interview with the parents to explain the policies of the school, and to do a health history of the child before he enters. These meetings take about forty minutes when the parent speaks English, and an hour or more...  [Read more]

We believe that a combination of certain traits and skills contribute to a teacher being remembered for the right reasons. By incorporating these characteristics, you are likely to be remembered as an exceptional English teacher by your future students. Communication Of all the qualities listed, communication arguably tops the...  [Read more]

Thu, 09 May 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences How many roles does an ESL teacher serve in the classroom? Nowadays being a teacher means more than just executing lesson plans while standing up at the front of the class giving explanations; we were used to this type of teacher when the traditional schools were “teacher-centered” so the students assumed a passive and quiet way to access the knowledge.
