Warm Welcome and Icebreaker: We’ll start with a friendly introduction to break the ice and get to know each other better. I’ll ask a few fun questions about you, your hobbies, work, or favorite things to help you feel at ease.

Understanding Your Goals: I’ll ask about your language goals, whether it’s improving conversational skills, refining grammar, building vocabulary, or preparing for specific situations like work or travel. Together, we’ll create a clear focus for your learning journey.

Assessing Your Level: Through a short, casual activity or dialogue, I’ll assess your current English level. Don’t worry, this is all about understanding your strengths and areas to work on, not about being perfect!

Engaging Practice: We’ll dive into a fun and interactive activity that matches your level. This could include reading a short passage, answering simple questions, or practicing vocabulary and phrases for everyday life.

Personalized Feedback: I’ll give you encouraging feedback during the lesson, highlighting your strengths and suggesting ways to improve.

In this 60-minute lesson, you'll say goodbye to textbook-style English and start using the language the way it’s actually spoken. This lesson focuses on real-life, practical English that you can use in everyday situations, whether traveling, working, or simply conversing with a friend.

Real Talk Express: Speak English Like You Mean It! Daily life, work & travel – all levels welcome (A1–C2)

1. Introductions & Icebreaker (10 minutes)
The session kicks off with a casual exchange of introductions, where both tutor and student share a little about themselves, their interests, and experiences with English. This not only creates a relaxed atmosphere but also sets the tone for an engaging conversation. To keep things interesting, an open-ended question is posed: If you could have a chat with any historical or famous figure, who would you choose and why? This helps the student practice expressing opinions while keeping the conversation natural and interactive.
2. The Role of Politeness in Communication (10 minutes)
Next, the discussion shifts to the significance of politeness in different cultures and how it influences communication. The student is encouraged to reflect on past experiences and consider moments where a conversation may have come across as too direct or even impolite. A guiding question like Have you ever had a situation where someone seemed rude but may not have intended to be? invites the student to share insights, laying the groundwork for a deeper understanding of how politeness shapes conversations.
3. Recognizing Politeness: Direct vs. Indirect Speech (15 minutes)
This section introduces a comparison of direct and indirect speech, helping the student grasp how tone and phrasing impact social interactions. By examining examples such as Give me your phone versus Could you pass me your phone, please?, the student learns the subtle yet crucial differences that make a conversation sound more considerate. Key polite expressions are introduced, including phrases for making requests (Would you be able to…?, I was wondering if…), expressing opinions gently (I see what you mean, but…), and disagreeing politely (I understand your perspective, but…). The goal is to equip the student with adaptable tools for handling various situations with tact and diplomacy.
4. Hands-On Practice: Rewording for Politeness (10 minutes) and many more.
