Usually online classes are students preparing for English Exams: TOEFL, IELTS, also SAT and ACT testing.
ALSO online studies provide classes for Global Corporate Employees or Business Students.
We ask for at least 2 hours a week and 2 – 3 months prep time, according to abilities.
We use Piaget’s Constructivist Approach, following Bloom’s Taxonomy to create objectives, which are easily understood from US Department of Education Standards.
This is not intended to be the beginning level for all students. Some will begin with Picture Dictionaries, while others will begin much further into the curriculum.

The student will speak for 3 or 4 minutes on the subject. During this time, the teacher listens and takes notes. The teacher then evaluates the speaking and asks student to repeat words or phrases. The teacher will use the webcam or ichat to show the student the placement of their tongue/shape of mouth in order to pronounce the word in English.
Objective:
Student will be able to listen to the teacher speak on a subject analyzing what she has said and how she has said it, writing questions or words they do not understand or know the meaning. The student will then answer questions about the subject.

For reference: If a student begins with no English at all, it should take at least 7 months of devotion to be able to speak English at a beginning level.
