I have a high school diploma. I have just complete and passed the TEFL/TESOL online course. I do not have any teaching experience but i did homeschool my four children, aged 5, 9, 13 and 16. I learnt a lot through them being different ages and applying different teaching methods. The most important thing i learnt was that students enjoy doing most of the talking. Children and adults alike like to know that they accomplish something on their own without to much help! I wil try and make the lessons as fun and creative as possible but also informative! The students will have the freedom to choose the daily topics if they like and to base our conversation on that. I will also be able to adapt the lessons if the students have their own material that they might need help with. My hours are very flexible as i am a stay at home. The only time that i wont be able to tutor will be before 13H00 on Sundays (South African time +2 gmt)

    I went on a trip to Quy Nhon beach with some students from my father's company. Although I was very timid, everyone was very friendly and I got to know them quickly. In order for us to choose a captain we played minigames, and I was chosen. I was concerned me being chosen but would blame myself if I didn't take the repsonsibiltiy . I thought of giving the position as captain over to someone else but instead I apologised beforehand as this was a good time to assert myself. I spoke to everyone and listened to see what their strengths were. After this I devised a good plan and showed it to them and listened to everyone's opinion and in the process eliminating the incorrect points. With my enthusiasm and their co-operation and the good support, my plan went very well and it turned out to be a very memorable trip.

    Hi there. When something is faulty, it is not operating properly, e.g. "I bought and IPhone and I could not hear anyone, I think the speaker is faulty". When you are "at fault"- it simply means that it is your fault or you are to blame e.g. "When I knocked my neighbours postbox over with my car, I was at fault" Hope this helps!

    Hi Justin.  I have also just started on italki and have the same problem/question.  My friend advised me to just be patient and log into your account on a regular basis.  I believe it helps to stay active on the community board which unfortunately for me takes up a lot of time.  Don't lose heart!! Good things come to those who are patient! :)

    The first one is your more casual way of saying it, but the correct way will definitely be the second way of saying it.

    This is simply an observation or a fact. There was no central heating from the year 400 to 1900 , I think he was purely stating how things have changed.

    When using "yet" you are saying that it must still happen or it hasn't happened . eg. "She hasn't received her book yet" or "She is yet to receive her book" "Already"- it has happened. eg. "I cannot have dinner with you tonight as I have already made plans for tonight" Hope it helps!

    Hi . One says "take care "when saying goodbye. It simply means take care of yourself. Whereas "be careful" is seen as a warning. eg. "Please be careful when walking down the slippery path"
