   Now it was time for T4 MD to cook and learn! We also chose Jamie Oliver's Sundae, but I actually call it Tati Oliver's Sundae, since I've made some twists on the original recipe to make it taste even better... hihihi!

We had a blast and ate our brains out!!!!

  I love this time of the year, and I bet the students do, too! Is anything more fun and yummy than to make a delicious layered sunday while learning English at the same time? We had lots of fun doing this activity. can't wait for the next one!

Welcome, 2013!!!

   2013 is moving at full speed and lots of cool things have happened at Red Balloon and my private classes! 
   As an ESL teacher and tutor, I often look for ways to energize lessons, and new material to help my students engage with English. I often adapt lesson plans according to their interests, and how they would like to use English. Other times, I incorporate already existing materials from articles or clips from YouTube. Here, you will be able to find helpful material that will be useful for an everyday usage of English, and interesting clips about history and culture in the US as well as other English Speaking countries.
   If you are an English student, please feel free to use the material posted here to help you in your study. Let me know how they help!
