For group kids classes parents will choose whichever class they want to start their children on.  

 

Parents can do a simple test for young learners on the Cambridge website.

​

I will work with students in the classroom and if a student is struggling after 1-2 weeks parents will be contacted with advice on changing the course more appropriate to their children's level.

 

 

All children are encouraged to actively participate in the conversation although if I recognise some children are shy, I will give extra suport here and empathy to try and encourage even the shortest answersfrom them to questions.  Phrases will be on screen to help them answer and of course I provide ongoing help throughout the classes.

 

Whilst I appreciate parents are keen to be on hand to help, the most important thing for parents to do is to ensure they are able to ensure a good stable connection, provide a headset for their child and a quiet area for them to speak from.   Children are often very reluctant to speak around their parents so if you know this is the case with your child, I would recommend you sit somewhere out of sight, but close enough, so that for younger students, if they have technical problems you can quickly help.

 

Group classes take place on Zoom.
