Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is this course for?

Grammar Made Easy is aimed at the person who wants to teach grammar to a child in a fun and different way.

2. Can you tell me what age of child this course would suit?

I have made the posters with children aged 9 – 12 who were working at their age level.  An older child who watched the lessons wanted to join in, so she did. :-) If you have a bright 7 or 8 year old then he might enjoy the class too.

3. Is a 6-year-old too young for the course, then?

It depends.  If your 6-year-old is reading well and is dexterous with scissors, glue and pen, then she might love making the posters. 

 

4. How does the course work?

Each week's lesson presents an aspect of grammar with detailed illustrated instructions on how to teach the lesson.

5. Does my membership include personal coaching?

Unfortunately, the answer is "no". While I will always be available to handle support requests like helping with downloading a lesson, I don't have the time to personally coach 100 members.

6. Do I have to commit to the entire 13 weeks?

No, absolutely not. While I don't think you'll want to do so, you may cancel anytime you want. You may email me directly for a prompt and courteous cancellation. But, I don't think you'll want to cancel once you do start the course!

7. How quickly can I start applying what I am learning about teaching grammar?

You will be given instructions for teaching in your very first lesson, so you could start teaching grammar the same day.

8. Do I have to buy books or supplies to complete the course?

You don't need to buy any books, and you will need some coloured card and paper and access to a printer to make the posters.

9. On what day of the week will I receive my weekly emails?

There isn't a set "day" of the week when lessons will arrive to your inbox. The automatic system is set up to send out your lesson approximately every 7 days (sometimes there is a 24-48 hour difference in delivery, but you'll always receive a lesson each week).

10. We are on a very slow dial-up connection, will I be able to do the online course?

The online course is designed to be available to all peeps, even if you are on slow dial-up.  It’s actually a weekly download which comes to you as a PDF and is the same size as a large email – 300kb or less.
