A Drop In Class?

I am looking at a new idea for teaching.

I would like to make an informal “drop in” class at least once a week which would last one and a half hours, maybe longer.

My idea is that this should be free for everyone who has had a class with me in the past, but if you bring a friend the cost would be Five British Pounds per class.

There are a few difficulties which I need to think about. Firstly, Skype holds conferences but there is a maximum number. I am unclear how many that is. I think it is 25.

I want it to be as informal as possible, its simply another chance to learn something new.

If interested please let me know, it is likely to be on a weekday around 10am UK time.

An Exciting Project

As you all know I  regularly teach people online using Skype.

From time to time,  I  also like to get involved with voluntary teaching – that means giving some lessons free of charge to a deserving organisation.

If you know of a school, orphanage, institution, which may be economically deprived or perhaps in a poor area, I would be very happy to hold English classes weekly or more on skype free, without payment.

If you know of a place in your country which might be interested in this idea, please ask them to contact me. They would need to have Skype (or another platform) and the ability to use a screen which could be seen in a classroom setting.

 

Thanks

Joseph

The parachute symbolizes ‘help’ or ‘rescue’. We have various ways to talk about the future. You may like to read my earlier posts (Future tenses – part one , Future […]
