It’s the middle of winter and the cold is here but we’re now renting a classroom space in a local building. Every Tuesday the students are attending Coni’s class. Coni is an educational psychologist and her classes focus on building confidence and self-esteem, problem solving and study techniques. Each student also has the chance to talk to Coni on a one-to-one basis to discuss personal issues, and they do. They say the classes are invaluable and they have quickly developed a strong bond with Coni.
Friday is English class day and Sebastian has quickly got them all engaged. They find that they are learning quickly and say that the lessons are valuable because they actually get to speak. At school they find that the lessons are focused almost entirely on grammar and writing.
