In this lesson, we're going to get to know one another, assess your needs and learning goals, look at some possible materials to work with, and plan our next steps.

This lesson package is based on full CEFR level courses. Each lesson includes listening or reading practice based on a general discussion topic. This is followed by speaking and/or writing practice of a grammar area or a set of vocabulary.

General English Grammar and Vocabulary, All Levels

We start with a conversation to see what language needs come up in the process. Then we follow up with systematic practice of these areas.

Emergent Language

Based on CELTA certification and more than fifteen years' experience in its classroom application, I'll take you through the inner workings of communicative lessons. This will help you prepare for the challenges of the certification if you're planning to take it. If you're fresh off the course, I'll share my experience in the practical application of the toolset. My workshops will help you supplement a short TEFL course with practical and effective advice. I'll also share my use of AI to streamline lesson planning and activity personalization.
