Default Re: one-on-one class help me

Ono-on-one with such a young student is tough. I would say you should just interact with the child and play together while you use English. You might even try watching a short English TV show together like Dora the Explorer or something. While watching the show you can comment on things as they appear. Reading books is always a good idea. Sing some songs together. Songs with actions are even better.

For lesson content you might want to have a theme each week and bring some items to help support that theme. Work the items into the play-time but don't force them in or force her to talk. She'll produce when she's ready and feels confortable.

I hope that helps a little.
