I can teach English to kids using a fun and educational way. I will make sure to keep their attention focused and teach all speaking, reading, and writing. It will be one-on-one, so I will focus directly on them and ensure they understand everything I explain to them fully. I will use the direct method, where I will only speak in English and not their native language so they will get used to the listening aspect.
