Hi Guys!
I need your help. I have three one on one classes, all advanced all with executives. They are going well as far as content goes (grammar reviews, conversations, phrasal verbs, etc). However, the classes are all early in the morning, and all of this can get quite boring. With groups I´ve always found it easier to stimulate them and get them active. When it is just me and the student, I find it quite difficult. I hate to see them yawn. I really need them to enjoy these classes.
What I need are ideas. The students are very professional and mature, and I don´t know how games would go over with them, but I want to try. I will try anything at this point to keep them interested and engaged. What can I do to break the monotony. What advice do you have? What has proved to be successful in the past.
Unfortunately very few free resources seem to be available on individual classes. And I´m quite broke, living in Mexico teaching English!
Thanks a ton ya´ll!
