Wed, 20 May 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Personal Teaching Experience in South Korea I have taught English before in an English tutoring institute in Korea on two separate occasions. I am American but I grew up in South Korea. For extra money, I started teaching English for the first time at age 19. I taught very young children, from age 4 to age 7. It was extremely difficult because there were probably about 20 students and at those ages' children have such different mental capacities. Therefore, teaching was almost impossible as the older children picked up everything very quickly and would become bored and loud, while the younger children would be too scared to talk and practice anything. It felt much more like a daycare than any English class. Table of Contents...  [Read more]

Register now & get certified to teach english abroad! The Difference Between ON Time vs. IN Time   The two prepositions "on time" and "in time" are widely used but also often used incorrectly.

I arrived at the planned time. -> This means she never arrives at the correct time. She is never punctual.   IN time When you are in time, you are early enough to have spare time, usually to be able to do something...  [Read more]
