 |
|
I recently decided to have conversational practice (one on one) from my home. So far I have two students that are both very busy professionals.
Short term student:
I have been working with him for about a week. His English is very good (grammar/pronunciation/vocabulary, etc.). He just wants to practice because he'll go to the US/Europe in March for the first time. He's a bit nervous about interacting with native speakers on a daily bases.
Long term student:
He's been to the US and other English speaking countries before but it has been awhile since he was able to speak English. He is a bit rusty with speaking (good pronunciation but bad grammar). He thinks he may need about 5-6 months of practicing (I am thinking/hoping less time). His goal is to be able to do full lectures in English.
I have done conversation classes in the past but it was always in an English course and with a mixed group of students.
How do I go about making one on one fun and interesting? |
