Testimonial - Parent (Mme H.)


I'm a mother of three children who had the chance to have Svenja as a private teacher of English. My eldest daughter, although being very good student in general, had difficulties to appreciate the English language, and her marks in English were mediocre. Today it can be said that she excels. Svenja transmitted her love for the language with playful methods and hands-on workshops, which stimulate the visual and auditory memory. Within a couple of months my daughter enjoyed learning the English language and  the school method doesn't frighten her anymore today. It was also a success with my two other children. The teaching methods of Svenja are adapted to each child, whatever the level, the age or their apprehension. The capacities of her to teach English are undeniable.

Who took the cookie? Game

A game you can play using this song ...  Have the kids sitting in a circle and close their eyes. (Prepare a biiig cookie, that you can reuse all the time, maybe using salt dough or just a paper cookie), walk behind the kids, sing a song together, drop the cookie behind one of the children without them noticing and sit down with them. Start the nursery rhyme using the real names of the kids instead of the animals. Each time a name is mentioned this child has to look behind them and then say "Not me"  or "Yes I have the cookie, mniam mniam mniam."

Svenja has been my English teacher for 3 years now. At first I didn't like English in school but with Svenja we tackled English differently. She is very patient and understanding. Her methods were interesting and I came to like English. Today I can say that thanks to her, I have excellent results and I really like English. Thank you Svenja. Syrine 5e

Flashcards games

One of my favorite teaching materials is "Flashcards", because there are just sooo many games you can play with them and make lessons really fun. Here are some ideas that came to my mind just now, but there are tons more out there. 1. Have the children close their eyes. Hide the flashcards everywhere in the room. Depending on the age of the children you can also just place the cards openly into different corners of the room. Have the children open their eyes. Call out a card. The children run to find the correct one. The child who finds it first receives a point. Repeat until no cards are left. 2. Another version of this is .. use big flashcards (DinA4) and pin them to the wall. Call out a card and have the children run to the correct card tapping it. Those who tapped the right card get a point. 3. Pin all flashcards to the board. Drill the vocabulary. Have the children close their eyes and remove one card. The children then have to guess which one is mis...
