English Translation of the photo beside:
"Thank you for the awesome experience Benedetta is living thanks to you! She is thrilled! Yesterday she was very happy!"
Benedetta has been learning English with me for years, during the lockdown she had to attend online "emergency" lessons for school, which made her feel a little lost. That's why this summer she didn't want to join The Hive at first, she was expecting to sit in front of a computer for a long lesson. Her mother insisted a little and here's the result: Benedetta loves chatting and playing with other kids from Europe! Her love for English is back and stronger than ever!
THE LANGUAGE COURSE IN DETAIL
Once you joined The Hive, your will have access to the website where you will find the courses.
The language course is made of: 17 lessons of ten minutes each, accompanied by study guides (in Italian, English and German), board games, flashcards, online flashcards or games.
From April 2021 your child could join a play and conversation lesson every two weeks. It will take place on Zoom. We will decide the day and time together. 6 participants per group allowed. Each month we will work on a topic, some language or grammar that I will ask you to revise in advance using the learning material I gave you in the Moving Bees course.
WHAT YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO DO AT THE END OF THIS COURSE

- answer questions with "Why?"

- use the expression "to be good at"

- talk about hobbies and activities and use adverbs of frequency (never, sometimes, often...)
- use some modal verbs (shall, need, have to, must)
- tell a simple story based on pictures using the simple past (regular and irregular verbs) and conjunctions (like then, after that, at the end) and prepositions of time
- use the infinitive of purpose ( ex. I go to library to do my homework)
- use relative pronouns (ex. This is the hotel where I slept./ This is the shell which I found/ This is the girl who was with me)

- build simple sentences with indirect speech (ex. Jack invites Daisy to go to the park)

HELLO! I'm your TEACHER NOEMI.
I have 8 years’ experience in teaching English to children, I have a degree in English Literature that could allow me to teach in Italian High Schools, but when I had my own children I decided to dedicate my work to teach to young learners through play. My courses are flexible and mostly based on practice. They aim at improving speaking skills through games and friendship.
My mission is creating an international community of families around English learning!

“...we sniffed an evening into the course, were very warmly accepted into the group and were directly inspired by Noemis incredibly likeable beings. How in a playful way she brings the language to the children and awakens the interest of the children. We have particularly positively noticed her human treatment of the children, which does not require any punishment, reward or performance pressure. The learning content is varied, for example, Noemi uses small hand puppets, movement songs and different games." In the box is especially loved here. But also with the older and from English level more advanced children the lessons are very creatively designed.”

(unschooling mum) mother of Iwein 7 y.o who took part to both Movers Online and to the online Playgroup for smaller kids

Are you still worried about not having enough time to dedicate to English?
Read what my mums say:
"With this alternation of lessons in autonomy and live lessons on zoom you do not lose the rhythm (which, let’s face it, is always a risk), the parents are also involved in the flow of the lessons and can directly experience their quality and the teacher’s preparation."
Barbara Dho, her daughter Vittoria was one of the first students to try my BRAND NEW ONLINE COURSE for MOVERS! she is now a A1 level
“With Noemi's online courses you can organize yourself as you like and stay at home. The recorded lessons are always available and we can maybe reuse them as a revision for the smaller brothers...so I think there are many good reasons for enrolling and then, not having to drive them everywhere and be always late has no price!!”
Debora Vanzetti, her daughter Giorgia was one of the first students to try my BRAND NEW ONLINE MOVERS COURSE, she is now an A1 level.
Still wondering about the results?
Have a look at what mums say:
“With initial support on my part, the course works well for us as my son becomes more confident and independent. I have already seen some results! He speaks more confidently, becomes more confident in dealing with language and works out the pronunciation himself with new words - and is often correct. He translates the texts from the worksheets and the book. I see him happy. He doesn't always feel like saying: It's EnglishTime - but he comes in quickly and then enjoys it.”
Mel Mueller (homeschooling mum), mother of Lucien who is now getting his A1 level.
