Interactive and fun classroom environment that allows students and teacher to engage and learn together.

Curriculum
A1- A2 Beginners at reading comprehension: Scholastic Success with Reading Comprehension workbooks. These are simple paragraphs with simple questions for a student to build up reading comprehension skills.
I have simple storybooks depending on the reading level of the student.
B1-C1 Intermediate at reading comprehension: These are good readers but don't neccessarily understand what they have just read. I use many different books and stories.
I want the student to have a variety of books to choose from that peek their interest.
Examples of books: Fly Guy series, Frog and Toad short stories, Magic Treehouse series, Winnie the Pooh original, Charlotte's Web, Because of Winn Dixie, and Alice in Wonderland etc.
We can find something interesting to read.
B2-C1 Advanced at reading comprehension: These are great readers who do know how to comprehened what they have just read but want to take their skills further.
Examples of books: Wonders, Sherlock Holmes, Tales of Despereaux, and Harry Potter
Conversation Practice
* I don't focus on grammar with conversation practice. I will correct big grammar mistakes but that isn't the focus. The focus and main goal for convesation practice is getting the student's thoughts out. Help the student dig deep and explore passions into conversation that interests them.
*************************************
Kid friendly topics. I have made my own conversation slides to help conversations to come about naturally. Some of my favorite kid friendly topics are Minecraft, video games, Harry Potter, kid shows, Disney movies etc.
Adult conversation topics: I have 250 topics to choose from!
