Sorry for the weird title. It's kind of a weird situation so the title isn't super descriptive.
Anyway, I used to be an English teacher but got out of it a few years ago. The CEO of my company has two kids (6M & 4F) and the son expressed interest in learning English. Word got back to my boss that I used to teach English both in schools (ES & JH) and as an eikaiwa teacher where I sometimes worked with kids as young as 4.
After some talking, I have a basic idea of what my boss wants. My boss wants me to teach the children (for a bit of extra cash), which I'd probably be fine with normally. However, they've kind of thrown a few challenges in there for me.
First, my boss wants to do four hours every Saturday, so it's going to be much longer than what I'm used to.
Second, it seems they don't want it to feel like a classroom and want it to be way more casual (things like going to the park, playing games, reading books, hanging out) while they learn English from me maybe with flashcards, repetition, etc. I know this is a method some people use to teach languages, but it's not something I'm super used to.
Since these are kind of new challenges for me, I'm just wondering how to go about it and if people have any recommendations, advice or resources that I can use to make the most of their time.
Any advice helps. Thnx!
