Speaking! You either love it or you hate it... But at the end of the day, it is something that you will inevitably have to encounter when studying any language at school or university.
One of the most common things that students say to me is that they never get enough speaking practice at school, and to be honest I completely agree with them. Having experienced this myself when I was at school (and even at university), I don't think that one hour per week is enough to really get to grips with the language that you have been learning and build up fluency.
Therefore, I would love to offer students the opportunity to practice their speaking on a more regular basis, so that they really have the chance to develop this skill as much as possible - and realise that speaking isn't so scary after all!
What will I offer?
I will be offering hour long Zoom sessions for just £7 an hour, with up to four students in each class. The sessions will be based around a particular topic in the curriculum, as well as including some general conversation, as I believe that this is also fundamental to language learning.
How does it work?
Students will prepare a particular topic prior to the session (which will be emailed to them in advance, along with the Zoom link), and this will allow us to discuss any ideas that crop up. Towards exam season, students can prepare exam board specific speaking cards to go over in the sessions.
Do the topics have to be fixed?
Not at all! If there is a particular topic that a group of students wants to go over, I will place them together and this can be arranged. Alternatively, if a student is just looking for general speaking practice, I can either pick a topic, or we can work on general conversation. Basically, the content of the sessions should reflect exactly what you want to achieve.
If you have any questions, or you would like to book a session, please don't hesitate to head to my Contact form, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Happy learning!
