Luciana Maluf TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Neurodiversity celebrates the differences between our brains and as a concept in itself, it is relatively new. It was first used in a magazine back in 1998 and was coined as a term by Singer in 1999, whose son had Asperger's syndrome. Neurodiversity describes the different ways in which brains develop, leading to different strengths and challenges related to thinking and learning. People with dyslexia, autism and ADHD are examples of neurodivergent learners.

Some neurodivergent students may have disabilities, but others may not. First, we must educate...  [Read more]

Federico Riva Teaching Ideas The following essay is based on my personal experience of teaching one-to-one English lessons to young children (ages ranging from 5-14), through online platforms and companies. Engaging students through a virtual classroom presents challenges for teachers for several reasons. The first being that throughout the time of the lesson the child sees only the teacher and the given background. In other words, there are no sources of distraction or points of interest besides the teacher herself/himself and, as is known, it is especially important for young learners that the environment and the delivery of the lessons be as interesting and fun as possible. For online lessons, this becomes of paramount importance as the teacher is the only person the student will see...  [Read more]
