Private tutoring - Creative English and drama classes
by Giselle
(Nueva Andalucia, marbella. Spain)
Children learn best through fun activities. They love to play games and they will make a lot of effort to win, even at something they find hard, such as reading. Games are also an excellent and painless way to help children remember new vocabulary.
Hearing the lines, seeing the actions, feeling the props, acting out movements and using expression all make the lesson a far richer one.
Drama also teaches children to enunciate their words properly and to project their voices when they speak, helping them to become clear and confident speakers.
It involves not only the intellect, but also children's imagination and emotions. By encouraging self-expression, drama motivates children to use language confidently and creatively.
As well as benefits to learning, the use of drama can have very positive personal benefits. The student develops communication skills, leadership, team work, compromise, listening skills, presentation skills, self esteem and confidence.
If you feel your child could benefit from working in this way; please do not hesitate to contact me to arrange an initial meeting?
I look forward to hearing from you...!
