I've started teaching online and it's quite challenging (hence no new posts here). But since I'm comfortable with the new environment, I'd love to share my impressions so far - I've been teaching online for almost two months so far and I find the experience really fascinating (especially that I teach regular groups, not the one-to-one conversations).

Yesterday, when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about the lesson - a group of pre-int teenagers and grammar + vocabulary revision. Not necessarily exciting thing, admit it. Maybe I'll give them a funny warm up at least, I thought - and I decided to make them write a poem, which we had never done before.

Teaching teenagers is usually fun - at least for me, I really enjoy teaching the group unfairly claimed to be the most difficult (but I'd never ever take up a group of children aged less than 10 years old again!). One of the things I've learnt so far is that with teenagers you have to be prepared for everything.
