Learning becomes enjoyable and natural habit-forming! 🍭【Phonics】🍭 Phonics is recognized by numerous linguists and educators as an irreplaceable system used in American preschools today. Starting from the basic pronunciation of each letter from A to Z to the combination of different phonemes, having a certain understanding of Phonics can effectively enhance children's phonics and reading abilities. In the lessons, Ms. Ingrid will strive to teach children correct pronunciation and memory techniques, while also using pictures and small games to help children understand and practice pronunciation. Once children have accumulated a certain level of phonics skills, Ms. Ingrid will incorporate Phonics reading materials into the lessons. ※ Phonics reading materials: Bob Books Set 1 & 2, Pete the Cat I Can Read Phonics, Phonics First Little Readers, Usborne Phonics Readers, and Usborne Very First Reading, etc. 🍭【Children's English (Ages 4-11)】🍭 Ms. Ingrid creates a classroom atmosphere where children feel comfortable speaking up, guiding them to find joy in learning English. Through each lesson, children gradually become aware of the sense of accomplishment that comes with learning English, allowing them to develop a natural inclination for self-driven learning and continuously build their English skills. Each lesson typically includes Phonics, conversational speaking practice, grammar sentence structure training, and reading comprehension. Of course, various interactive games are an essential part of the course, allowing children to accumulate English skills while enjoying game-based learning. They will always look forward to the classes! ※ Grammar materials: National Geographic Grammar Explorer series. 🍭【Scheduling Guidelines】🍭 → Psychological studies have shown that children have a maximum attention span of 25 minutes. The time children can concentrate and absorb course content is limited. One-on-one lessons require a high level of concentration, as children need to be fully engaged to provide immediate responses to the teacher's questions or requests. The learning effectiveness of two 25-minute lessons per week surpasses that of a single 50-minute lesson per week! → For kindergarten and lower elementary grades, please choose 25-minute lessons and schedule them two to three times a week consistently. → For upper elementary grades and above, you can choose either 25-minute or 50-minute lessons based on your needs and schedule them twice a week consistently. → Language learning is a marathon, and maintaining a consistent and uninterrupted learning habit is crucial! → If parents do not agree with the above principles, it may be necessary to find a teacher more suitable to your preferences. 🍭 Google Slides links to class materials will be provided, and the files will be stored in the cloud for one month. Please save them and review during breaks between lessons! ◼Class Guidelines ⩥ To maintain a certain level of learning effectiveness, please ensure that your child attends at least 2 classes per week. ⩥ To protect the rights of teachers and other students to enroll in courses, if you are unable to attend a class, please cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. ⩥ If there are less than 12 hours left before the start of the course, reserved time slots cannot be canceled and cannot be rescheduled. The class will be considered completed, and no makeup or refund will be provided. ⩥ The teacher will wait for 5 minutes inside the classroom. If the student does not enter the classroom, it will be considered an "unexcused absence" and will be charged the "full fee". No makeup or refund will be provided. ⩥ If a student is late, the teacher will end the class on time as the time between classes is tight, and it is not possible to extend the class duration. ⩥ In case of special emergencies, the teacher can be understanding, but please inform in advance. ⩥ If the teacher agrees to makeup classes, they must be completed within one week from the day of the missed class. No makeup will be provided if the deadline is missed. ⩥ Makeup classes are limited to once per month. Please do not cancel the originally scheduled class and use a makeup class voucher, as it defeats the purpose of makeup classes. ⩥ If the student fails to attend the makeup class, it will not be rescheduled.
