Hello all, I would like to teach English to kids in Germany. As I’m a perfectionist, I’d also like to take English classes to strengthen my knowledge of English and its grammar, even though my level is already B2+. Does anyone have experience teaching kids, so we can go through the right topics together? If so, please get in touch. If the price isn’t unreasonable, we can make it work. (German kids mainly learn British English at school, please be aware of this.)

This was a very particular experienced happened in the last three years. The story started with a physical check for my daughter. She was told that she has got nearsighted at the age of eight. I felt really sad, because mypoia was hrad to treat at that time. The doctor told us that my duaghter must reduce the time of learning and played outside as much as possible. Only doing that could make her glasses prescriptionunder -6.00D after growing up. I didn't give up to help my daugher recover from myopia. I thought that myopia was just one kind of a diseases. It could definitely be treated well. So, I looked for methods online. Fortunately, I met a lot of people who had the same situation as me. We also met some great doctors who tried their best to help children recovery from myopia. They told us the two main reasons that caused were dark and geeting to close to books while studying and reading. So, two interesting things were invented. One uses the 650nm red light to keep children's choroid in a proper thickness which efficiently prevented eyeballs getting long on anteroposterior diameter. Meanwhile, children can use a special device that made up with several pieces of glasses. It can create virtual images of the books in front of you to a far distance. In that case, when you are studying, you are actually watching the books from usually three to eight meters. My daughter's glasses prescrition has been dropped from -2.00D to -0.5D. It's great amazing! I also appreciate Essilor who always offers good quality glasses for children all over the world. Nothing can be better than pictures. Maybe the pictures below can let you understand the devices well.

During my winter vacation, I worked many shifts at my part-time job and earned a lot of money. I wanted to use my long break in a productive way, so I decided to focus on working as much as possible. During the first three days of the New Year, the restaurant was extremely busy. There were so many customers that the kitchen was very hectic, and we were constantly moving without rest. It was physically tiring, but at the same time, it became a very valuable experience for me. I learned how important teamwork, communication, and staying calm under pressure are in a busy workplace. Going back a little, I spent New Year’s Eve with my friends. We visited Iseyama Kotai Shrine to pray for the coming year. The shrine was crowded, but the atmosphere felt special and meaningful. I drew a fortune slip, and it was “great luck.” Because of that, I felt hopeful and believed that this year would be a good one. After visiting the shrine, we enjoyed food stalls and drank alcohol together. We talked, laughed, and shared a warm moment to welcome the New Year. I feel that I was able to start this year in a very positive way. I hope that I can spend this year peacefully and stay healthy without any major problems.

Are you wanting to learn how to speak clear and completely understandable American English so someone from the United States can really effortlessly understand you without assumptions or confusion? So you don't have to repeat yourself? Have you ever had a native English speaker from the United States watch and listen to you speak and let you know what mistakes you make by typing what they heard you say in written form then put a correction next to it in written form? Have you had them judge your mouth movement? Have you had them really focus on your letter sounds? Maybe you mis pronounce your short vowels. Have you been taught pronunciation from someone from the United States? Have you then had that person give you a lesson plan that would teach you letter sounds? A step by step formula/guide/lesson plan that would teach you letter sounds (short vowels, long vowels, letter blends)? If you're wanting to speak clear and completely understandable American English and you've never been taught letter sounds from someone from the United States then you may have learned the British form of pronunciation OR a mixture of American+(country where you're from) pronunciation. Start your journey to sounding more American today! It is possible! It is achievable! Check out my tutor profile. I offer pronunciation classes!
