How to participate
Final Notes
This course is a personal volunteering project that has two main objectives:
develop my abilities as a teacher (including materials writing, lesson planning, classroom management);
offer anyone interested access to learning the English language.
It is appreciated if students can always comment on the positive and negative points of the classes as students' perceptions are very valuable.
I intend to be as consistent as possible, but I reserve the right to change the content, time, duration, and any other characteristic of the course at any time.
If you still have any questions about the course, let me know via email@raulbl.com.
Cheers,
Raul.
