 Well, when you are tired of looking, there are only 2 options (I think)
1. Make a lesson by yourself.
2. you can ask your student to find another teacher !
Have fun ^^ |

Hi, Nandaagon. When we ask for help, it īs a good idea to mention the age of our students, and for what topic you are looking for material. But the fact that you mention your student does not know one word of English, then it is very important to use FLASHCARDS... to be very VISUAL when teaching the lesson, because this will help your student understand the context of what you are talking about. If he/she has NO knowledge at all you can start with basic vocabulary flashcards and attempt writing VERY SHORT sentences with that. You can slowly progress from there, don īt try to go too fast because this will only confuse and frustrate your student. So, it dependes on what topic you wish to teach, you can search here, there are tons of flashcards, and worksheets. And you can always ADAPT the worksheets to YOUR STUDENT īS NEEDS. Hope you find what you need... just don īt get frustrated. Sometimes we have to spend lots of time searching for what we need, or as Kara says, make the worksheet ourselves. Have a nice day! |

Well
I could prepare a lesson but the problem is: a) I don īt know Ukrainian
b) the student doesn īt know anything of english, portuguese, french and so on
So, despite his age, he is a beginner and I īll have to use his native language associated to english. That īs what I īm looking for.

Your student definitely knows Russian. So, try to use some russian-english tools.
Good luck!
