Monthly Update November 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-11

September was still a hot month with a few days of rain. It seems the humidity stayed in the air longer than in previous years. As regular classes resumed, students slowly adjusted to classwork and homework. We were encouraged by the return of several students and were happy to see their progress. As the year winds down, we plan a few fun activities for students and hope to make English learning something they remember as they age.

As mentioned in prior updates, several students are currently testing our online academy, and we continue improving it before we release it to everyone.

We encourage anyone interested in our school to contact us for a free trial lesson. Online lessons are available as well for students regardless of location.

Monthly Update August 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-08

In August, BumbleB English bid farewell to three students who moved abroad and welcomed a new adult and an elementary school student. The school paused regular group lessons for kids in August but continued with private and Summer Program lessons. Additionally, the school was pleased to welcome back a junior high student after a half-year absence.

Several students are still testing our online academy, and we will continue improving it before we release it to everyone.

Monthly Update June 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-06

As we enter the summer break, many students have mentioned they would like to take the month of August off. Normally we don't hold regular lessons in August but instead hold special classes focusing on topics such as reading comprehension, presentation, phonics, etc...

Additionally, during July and August, we will be working on our new online academy. Contact us for more information: [email protected]

Monthly Update May 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-05

In our kids' group lessons, vocabulary development was a key focus. In the future, we will incorporate spelling, as spelling becomes important for students entering junior high school. Beginner-level classes progressed well, with progress in alphabet learning and phonics. Reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and expressing opinions were emphasized in private lessons for high school students preparing to study abroad. Advanced adult students engaged in reading and discussing articles on interesting topics, while focus was given to helping a doctor prepare for presentations. 

Monthly Update April 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-04

While there was interest in group adult lessons, the school was unable to create a class due to insufficient demand. However, they have been successful in advancing their group kids lessons, focusing on reading comprehension and self-introduction using regular verbs. Visual aids and specific textbooks have aided in teaching beginning sounds to young private students. Additionally, the school accommodates private adult lessons, with one student being a restaurant owner eager to enhance his practical English skills through role-playing and vocabulary exercises. Online lessons are available to students not in the Yoga vicinity.

Monthly Update February 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-02

February started quite cold, and the first and only snow of the season fell on the 10th. Even with the cold weather BumbleB English welcomed several new students, including two elementary school-age children of a current adult student. We also welcomed four students to a beginner class (students who will be starting elementary school in April). With entering and departing students happening during January and February, our class schedule is in flux. Please contact directly at: [email protected] for information on the availability of lessons.

Monthly Update January 2023

BumbleB English School Update 2023-01

January was a review month for many of our classes. Review is beneficial for our students as they only attend once-a-week lessons. We reviewed previous textbook lessons, read simple passages, and focused on pronunciation. In addition, students answered questions from the Eiken English language exams.

Monthly Update December 2022

BumbleB English School Update 2022-12

December flew by very fast. This year we didn’t do anything special during lessons for the holidays, but we did have a “Meet Santa James” Day on December 18th. During this day, students and family members came by to see Santa James and pick out English books and stationery items as presents.

We have finalized our new pricing plan for next year and will have a yearly calendar available which should make scheduling much easier for students and parents.
