Additionally, during July and August, we will be working on our new online academy. Contact us for more information: [email protected]
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.
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.
In March, we finalized our lesson schedule and added another beginner class on Fridays at 4pm. We still have space for elementary and junior high school students. Please contact us directly at: [email protected] for information on the availability of lessons.
