Why Are One-on-One Lessons a Good Fit for Children?
In a one-on-one lesson, your child gets the teacher’s full attention. They speak and listen for the whole lesson, with no waiting for a turn.
The teacher can also set the pace. A shy child can start slowly and build confidence. A confident child can move ahead sooner.
Many children speak more when they feel comfortable. A private lesson gives them a calm space to try, make mistakes, and try again.
How Do Lessons Help Kids Keep Up at an International School?
Many families move to Bangkok and enroll their children in international schools, where classes are taught in English.
Parents come to GEOS because they want their child to reach the English level of that school. This is common among Japanese families who have recently moved to Thailand.
GEOS lessons focus on speaking and listening. These are the skills a child needs to follow lessons and join in with classmates. The teacher can match each lesson to your child’s level.
Every child is different. Progress depends on age, starting level, and regular practice.
Can GEOS Lessons Support Kids at a Japanese School in Bangkok?
Yes. GEOS uses books from Oxford University Press. Younger children use the Let’s Go series, which is made for children who are starting to learn English. Teenagers use Project, another Oxford University Press course.
The Let’s Go series is also used at the Japanese school in Bangkok. This means children who study there can meet familiar books in their private lessons and practice speaking with a native English teacher.
How Do Parents Follow Their Child’s Progress?
After every lesson, parents receive detailed feedback about their child’s progress.
The books also include unit tests. These check progress as your child moves through the course.
GEOS can also customize courses based on your child’s needs. Because lessons are private, the teacher can adjust the pace and the focus to suit your child.
What Is Eiken, and Does GEOS Prepare Kids for It?
Eiken is a well-known English test in Japan. It is run by the Eiken Foundation of Japan, and it has grades from beginner to advanced. Higher grades include a speaking interview.
GEOS offers Eiken classes, and we have helped hundreds of kids pass the test, from Grade 5 all the way up to Grade 1. The main benefit is that children can practice the speaking test with a native English speaker. All our teachers are trained to teach Eiken, and over 90% of our students passed on their first try. Because our lessons focus on speaking and listening, they fit the listening and interview parts of the test.
No school can promise a test result. A native teacher can help your child practice, and results depend on your child’s level and effort.
