📣 Stories are everywhere! Stories are human! Stories are fun! 📣

😩 People say language learning is HARD WORK 😭
🌄 But those people have never made STORIES ☀️

By making stories you:
✅ acquire vocabulary and grammar easily
✅ feel less stressed when speaking
✅ smile and laugh in class
✅ discover your natural creativity
▫️▫️▫️
❌ No more textbooks, grammar worksheets or meaningless conversations. ❌
🌀 Activate your imagination and become fluent! 🌊

Teaching experience
2023 - 2024
TraineeBen Slavic is a nationally recognized TPRS and Comprehensible Input expert who is the author of numerous best-selling books, audio and video programs.
In this course, I focused on understanding the Second Language Acquisition. I used many research-informed practices, including slow communication, gesturing and story making.
The focus of this course was to develop story making skills and understand why they work so well.
2023 - 2024
TrainerI have taught teachers how to practice Comprehensible Input. This has involved teaching them about the Second Language Acquisition research and helping them use research-informed skills, such as:
-slow speech
-gesturing
-how to address vocabulary and grammar acquisition
-story making
In this role, I helped teachers understand that language acquisition is a low, natural process in which students need to feel valued as a member of the community and in which their ideas are important.

Work Experience
2017 - 2019
English TeacherHere I taught environmental studies at beginner to intermediate level.
There was a strong focus on academic writing and university preparation.
In this role I had extensive practice of traditional English teaching methods
2020 - 2021
English TeacherHere I taught advanced general English classes.
At this school I started a comprehensible input class in response to the mismatch between student and textbook. In this class, we purely focused on creating stories, with no direct focus on word lists or grammar. The students loved it and it completely changed my approach to teaching.

Jesse is not the typical teacher who worries only about giving you a grammar lesson. His classes are totally different. I love the way he facilitates the creation of a story. After some questions, I had finished an amazing story.
He is concerned with student learning, and I liked his methodology because it is based on research to improve the learning process.
Jesse is a good listener and speaker, and you can discuss, analyze, and delve deeper into many topics: national reality, science, values, and so on. Highly recommendable.

很喜欢Jesse的课堂,每节课可以和Jesse一起创造一个小故事,如果故事不完整后一节课可以继续完善,Jesse 会帮助你抓住你的想法,每一节自己的参与的故事最终会被Jesse以文章和标准听力的形式反馈回来,因为是自己参与创造的,所以比一般的文章更有记忆点,更印象深刻,也更容易运用到生活中,一开始感觉自己想象力比较贫乏,但循序渐进和Jesse建立起信任后感觉很适合自己学习,加上是自己创作的,无意识中会带有自己的兴趣偏好,不上课时也会便于联想记忆。基本上每节课都会感觉时间过得很快而自己情不自禁说出很多不常用的语句。每节课都很轻松。In each class, you can create a short story with Jesse and get feedback on articles and video recordings. If the story is incomplete, you can continue to improve it in the next class. Jesse will help you capture your ideas. And those stories which modified by Jesse are more memorable and impressive. I think it is very important to establish a trusting relationship with teachers. Jesse is very good at this and his feedback is more suitable and efficient for self-study. Many thanks 🙏
