REFRESH YOUR TEACHING SKILLS

Active Methodology

Content and Language Integrated Learning for primary and secondary teachers

Whether a teacher of the English language, or a primary or secondary school teacher, we aim to update and refresh your teaching skills. At WorldTree, the creativity of teaching is something we value highly. In our approach to teaching, we recognise that students can both benefit from and be a source of creativity in the classroom. We also recognise that many teachers work to tight curricula in which creativity may feel a long way away.

However, WorldTree offers the English language teacher the opportunity to get back in touch with the creative side of teaching, expand their teaching repertoire and learn the practical activities and underlying principles which inform our own teaching. Example topics include:

Encouraging thinking skills
Developing materials
Integrating skills in the classroom

We currently offer classes focused exclusively on methodology for teachers of English, CLIL teachers or a split-time course divided into English communication and methodology. As with our English language classes, course content is discussed in advance of arrival and made flexible to the needs of each group.

Never have I known such a great native English teacher. I met her in the official language school in Spain, and since then, I've been delighted to be taught by her. Classes go by in the blink of an eye. Entertaining, educational and really enthralling. I can't stop looking foward to attending classes. Not only will you learn interesting things, but you are also bound to feel really comfortable speaking with her, having a great time. I thoroughly recommend you this English teacher.

Ruth's conversation classes have been a very well-spent time for me. In addition to providing an opportunity to talk with fellow students, you learn a wide range of vocabulary and expressions that are of great help, not only for general conversations but also for other areas like the professional one. Her classes are enjoyable and engaging; you always work on different topics that she sends you in advance via WhatsApp. The Zoom connection allows you to join from anywhere, making her class an excellent way to learn English no matter where you are. You feel very comfortable speaking and expressing yourself, and Ruth always listens attentively and then corrects any pronunciation or grammar errors you may have made. After the class ends, Ruth always ensures to send you a list of the new words learned, along with examples of expressions, to make them easier to remember. Without a doubt, I am very pleased to have chosen this fun way to improve my fluency in English. I highly recommend her classes!

I recommend 100% your classes to anyone, even the beginners because she makes English really easy and fun to learn!!

We would like to express our gratefulness and thankfulness to our favorite English teacher Ruth we met in Edinburgh in 2019, when we were living there for 6 months. Indeed, we became friends in the middle of the Scottish Covid chaos and Ruth immediately gave us the support we needed in English as well as with heart. The progress that our 2 girls Nina and Evie made in English at that time was tremendous, but Ruth also gave them confidence with enthusiasm and fun. She knows how to oriente courses individually which is very helpful. She designs her lessons in a way that matches the different needs of her students. Since then we came back to France, and we never stopped having English lessons with Ruth, which is thanks to her, Nina and Evie passed the First Certificate at 14 and 17 years old. Ruth is very professional and is always willing to help her students during the class, but also when they need extra help for instance for academic exams. We feel very grateful to know you dear sweet Ruth, and for sure we will never choose another English teacher because you are the best. Your favourite French family.

Learning a language is a challenging journey, often is easy to get frustrated, and certainly does not happen from one day to another. It demands dedicated effort and time, as well as a generous dose of patience, consistency and discipline. Moreover, requires crucial support along the way! In my case, I embarked on the path of improving my English proficiency for both personal and academic reasons. My motivation was driven by my decision to pursue a Master's degree at a university in the UK, which necessitated achieving a minimum overall score of 7 on the academic IELTS language test. I was determined to not only enhance my English skills but also make the most of the enriching academic experience I had envisioned. I made significant progress, elevating my IELTS score from 5 to 7, which was the required threshold for admission to the master's program I aspired to join. This improvement in language proficiency was also a crucial factor in my eligibility for scholarships. Undoubtedly, a significant portion of this remarkable language enhancement can be attributed to the invaluable support provided by Ruth. She exhibited remarkable patience and an innate understanding of my unique learning needs, guiding me through the process and helping me overcome my weaknesses.

Ruth was the best English teacher I ever had! And you know why? She was right on the spot of my personal interests (many) so not one class was a boring one! All the homeworks (you need to do your part, of course) were exciting to do. She changed my level of English knowledge in less than a year. Thank you, Ruth! Because of your classes I got confidence to teach yoga and SoulCollage®️ in English

Ruth helped me build my skills and enabled me and my team to speak with more confidence, improving our vocabulary and grammar, especially when speaking in meetings with foreign clients. I thoroughly recommend Ruth as a teacher; the classes are always fun and engaging as well as hard work!

As the head of the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas in Priego de Córdoba, I'd like to express my gratitude towards Ruth due to her expertise, patience, teaching skills and methodology. She has been a great asset to our public institution and a valuable member of the team. Both teachers and students miss her a lot and wish her all the best. If you want either to brush up your English skills or to study it from scratch, do not hesitate to contact Ruth.
