The sentence lasted only a few seconds...

But it absolutely made my day. 😊

Yesterday, I was chatting with one of my learners when he casually said,

"When I was on a plane..."

He said it so naturally that I don't even think he realised what he'd just done.

But I noticed.

A few months ago, he probably wouldn't have used that sentence structure so confidently in a conversation.

Yesterday, he did.

Without stopping to think.

Without me prompting him.

Moments like these remind me that progress isn't always loud.

Sometimes, it shows up quietly in an ordinary conversation.

A sentence that comes more naturally.

A little more confidence.

A little less hesitation.

These are the moments I celebrate because they remind me that learning is happening, even when learners don't realise it themselves.

Watching children grow in confidence, one conversation at a time, will always be one of my favourite parts of teaching. 💙

One thing I have learnt from teaching English learners for several years is that people learn better when they feel comfortable.

When I first started teaching foreign learners English, I realised that many of them saw English as something foreign, unfamiliar, and sometimes even intimidating. That made me understand that before anything else, I needed to help them relax.

So I leaned heavily on making my lessons very, very comfortable for them. I wanted them to feel safe, supported, and at ease, because when learners are relaxed, their minds and brains are in a better condition to absorb new things, sometimes even learning without knowing it.

Learning English is not only about memorising grammar rules, learning new vocabulary, or trying to speak without making mistakes.

It is also about the environment where learning happens.

A learner who is afraid of being corrected harshly may stop asking questions.

A child who feels pressured may begin to see reading as a difficult task instead of an enjoyable activity.

An adult who is worried about making mistakes may avoid practising the language they are trying to improve.

This is why I believe comfort matters in learning.

At Comfy English, we create a learning experience where learners feel supported, encouraged, and motivated to improve.

Our lessons are fun, engaging, and personalised because every learner has different goals, strengths, and areas where they need support.

Whether a learner wants to improve speaking, reading, vocabulary, grammar, or overall communication skills, our goal is to help them make progress in a comfortable learning environment.

Welcome to Comfy English — where learning English feels comfortable.

I would love to know: what is one thing you wish was easier about learning English?

Do you know there's no such expression as "wet your appetite"?

Yes, you've probably heard it many times. You may have even said it yourself.

But the correct expression is:

✅ Whet your appetite

The word whet means to sharpen or stimulate.

So, when something whets your appetite, it doesn't make your appetite wet. It increases your desire for food—or even your interest in something.

Examples:

• The smell of the barbecue whetted my appetite. • The first chapter whetted my appetite for the rest of the book.

Now you know.

Have you been saying "wet your appetite" all this while?

How to Start Online Teaching Even as a Novice – Part 3

Free Certifications That Can Help You Stand Out

Don't wait until you get your first student before you start learning.

Use this time to build your skills and boost your confidence. Here are some free certifications and training platforms I recommend:

• Google for Education Certifications – Learn to use Google's tools for teaching and classroom management.

• UNESCO MGIEP – The Digital Teacher – Discover practical edtech tools to make your lessons more engaging. One of my favourite courses!

• Canva Design School – Teacher Essentials – Learn to create presentations, worksheets, flashcards, and other teaching resources.

• Coursera – Canva for Teachers – A practical course on using Canva as an educator.

For English Tutors

• TeacherRecord – 120-Hour TEFL Certificate – A free TEFL course that meets the minimum hours required by many online English teaching jobs.

• TeachingEnglish (British Council) – Excellent professional development courses for English teachers. I've personally taken courses like How to Teach Communication and How to Teach Grammar.

Remember, certificates don't make great tutors—consistent practice and good teaching do.

I'll drop all the course links in the comments.

In Part 4, I'll show you how to create a professional introduction video that can help you get hired by parents, online schools, and tutoring platforms.

Do you know why many children read “phone” as “pone” 📱?

If your 6-8 year old can sound C-A-T but reads P-H-O-N-E as “poh-huh-ne”…
Don’t worry. They weren’t taught this rule.

2 reasons kids struggle with PH:

1. P + H don’t say what they look like
Kids learned P = “puh” and H = “huh”. So PH should be “puh-huh”, right? ❌
But in English, PH is a trick. It says /f/ like F.

2. We don’t teach it as a digraph
PH = 2 letters, 1 sound /f/. Same job as F.
phone = phone = /fone/
If kids don’t know the rule, they’ll split it every time.

Let’s fix it with PHONICS 👇

Digraph of the day: PH = /f/
Say it like you’re blowing out a candle: fffff

Step 1: Teach the trick
“PH are best friends. When they stand together, they say F. Not P. Not H. F.”

Step 2: Build 3 words together
ph + one = phone 📱
ph + oto = photo 📸
ph + ant = phantom 👻

**Step 3: PH vs F game**
Write PHONE and FONE on paper.
They sound the same, right? That’s the rule.
Now write FISH vs PHISH. Same sound, different spelling.

Test tonight: Write “elephant” on paper. No picture.
Can they spot PH and say /f/? If yes, they cracked the code.

Save this for spelling practice.
Comment “PH” if your child mixes PH and F 👇

Tag a parent who’s tired of “I saw a fanta… I mean elephant” 😂

The Hard Lesson a Struggling Student Taught Me About Teaching

Let me share a quick story with you:

I once had a student, let's call him Samuel, who had missed two full years of English.

He needed to pass a final exam that required at least a B1–B2 level.

His actual level? Somewhere between A1 and A2.

I was brought in as his online tutor for conversational English. We worked on pronunciation, accent, vocabulary development, and basic grammar concepts.

Samuel sat for the exam… and failed. Then tried again and again.

His scores slowly crawled up from 46.6% to eventually 66%, just enough to pass. And I truly celebrate him for his determination and doggedness.

But here’s the thing: teachers aren’t magicians.

We can’t fix years of missing knowledge in a few months, yet many expect us to.

Doctors check patients before treatment. Shouldn’t teachers do the same?

That’s why I now take diagnosing every student before teaching seriously. It helps set realistic expectations and builds from where they are, not where others wish they were.

It’s not strictness, but honesty. And honesty gives students a real chance to grow, step by step.

How do you handle learning gaps, especially very wide ones?

If your child or student was diagnosed as far behind, how would you want it handled?

Would you expect “quick fixes”, like rushing through topics just to meet a deadline?

Or would you rather take the time to close the knowledge gaps properly, step by step, even if it takes extra months or sometimes even years, so the learning actually lasts?

Why your child still struggles to read

If your 5-7 year old can say A-Z but can’t read “chair, cheese, chicken”…
The problem isn’t your child. It’s HOW we taught them.

3 reasons they struggle:

1. We teach letter names, not letter sounds
We say “C = see, H = aitch”
But in “chair”, C+H don’t say “see-aitch”. They make 1 new sound: “chuh”

2. We skip digraphs
Digraph = 2 letters, 1 sound. Like CH, SH, TH, PH
Kids can’t blend “c-h-a-i-r” if no one taught them “ch = chuh” first

3. We make them guess from pictures

So they memorize books instead of decoding words. When picture is gone, reading stops.

Let’s fix it with PHONICS 👇

Digraph of the day: CH = /ch/
Say it like you’re sneezing quietly: “ch-ch”

Step 1: Teach the sound, not letters
Hold up “ch”. Say “This says CHUH. Not C-H. CHUH.”

Step 2: Build 3 words together
ch + air = chair 🪑
ch + eese = cheese 🧀
ch + icken = chicken 🍗

Clap once for the “ch” sound. Kids learn faster with actions.

Step 3: Test without pictures
Write “chip” on paper. No photo. Can they sound it: ch-i-p = chip?
If yes, they’re decoding, not memorizing. That’s real reading.

If your child struggles to read, we English will help them love reading just in months.

Save this post for tonight’s practice.
Comment “CH” if you’ll try this with your child today 👇
