Reviews

The course was very effective and helped me understand how to teach more effectively. I learnt how to engage students (grab interest), how to (help them) explore things – many times we share what a forest is but going to the place through a nature walk – living and non-living – makes it really helpful for a student to learn.

Rukia

Beaconhouse School System

Found it (the course) helpful – as (compared to) using direct teaching before. Now I have a more interactive way and can adapt the 5E method in the classroom. It helps make English interesting for students as well rather than just tell students the grammar rules.

Bushra Yasmin

Islamabad Model College For Girls

The course was effective and helped me apply the 5E model in the classroom

Naina Gul

Beaconhouse Banigalla Campus.

Done a course from Oxford like this on communication skills. Found this course more effective as the other course was lecture-based while this one had much more interactivity like games, which were a really engaging part of the course. I also really enjoyed the case studies and scenario-based questions, which helped me learn from mistakes.

Before this course, I did not have any direction but now I know where to start my teaching
