616. Trying to hit upon the right method



One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “Last year I taught private classes to a student – was he 15 years aged? Anyway, in the first classes I used to give him advice about learning strategies. Ok, that’s necessary.


I helped him also to face the coursebook: for a student that age often some textbooks are something they don’t know how to study. However, one day I applied something it might go in something more useful to pass his tests. The grammar point of next test was phrasal verbs. He had to know a set of them, and there would be exercises on them.


I made him – basically – repeat the phrasal verbs over and over, in different ways. At last he achieved to know them and I found him more motivated.”


Today I started a new label: “private classes”. If you want to find more about them from older posts you can type “private classes” in the Search app. / Photo from: petervaldivia com
