Tue, 25 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences The Difference Between Teaching Children and Adult Learners The age range is a huge factor when it comes to teaching a classroom. The age of the students will determine your teaching methods, the activities you pick, the pacing of the classes, how you should act/treat your students, etc. Both age groups learn at different speeds.

Adults, on the other hand, have already mastered their own language making it harder to adapt to a new...  [Read more]

Fri, 18 Oct 2019 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Teacher Adaptation to the Age of Their Students The capacity for learning is present in people of any age and the desire for education and knowledge should be nurtured and celebrated to the best ability of not only the student but the educator as well.
