[@haileylorati9280]

I LOVE how you showed us what it looks like in the classroom!!! I wish we could watch an entire 25 min of you in the classroom with a lower and upper level :)

[@NancyTaylor]

You are so sweet Hailey!! So glad I could share.

[@paulipaz]

I love that you show clips of an actual class! That is sooooo helpful.

[@danaim5403]

honestly, I wish the efl teachers I had back in the day put half of the effort you put in your classes. As an aspiring teacher, I have to say you are absolutely inspirational. Keep it up :) cheers

[@curveb]

Thank you so much. Incorporating your own language is really helpful because I get to understand how the student feels and thinks like.

[@ashs4753]

I really appreciate how you showed an actual class! I feel like you never know what something is really like until you actually see it.

[@debbee6449]

Perfect timing to see this before my Recorded Demo! I feel encouraged and excited.

[@TeacherJanice]

Thank you for your dedication. I am amazed that you recorded content in advance of your maternity leave. I know these tips will be helpful to current and future teachers and always look forward to your new offerings. Hope you are getting some rest and recovery!

[@valerielugo6115]

You are such a great teacher! Thanks for these videos. They're simple, easy to understand and to the point.

[@NancyTaylor]

So happy to hear! Thank you!

[@sanyacosta8406]

You’re amazing teacher!!

[@manchaspinto3792]

FANTASTIC VIDEOS, I´M LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU NANCY TAYLOR, BEST REGARDS.

Awesome the way you show us how to model. Thanks so much 👍👍

[@cheriegilcruz7944]

Your videos are so helpful. I'm preparing for my online lessons next month.

[@ekaterinaboldyshev3207]

Hi Nancy!!!!! 🌸🌸🌸I am not a teacher, but I just like to watch your videos cause you’re so bright ☀️you are so natural 🌿and you’re so beautiful 🌺thank you so much for the hard work that you’re doing!!! and congratulations with the new baby 🍼!!!😘

[@NancyTaylor]

Thank you Kate! This just made my day:) How sweet of you to take the time to leave such a kind comment!!

[@ConiRZ]

Hi! Thank you very much!! I'm from Chile and I'm studying English but they do not teach me these kind of things. Please keep doing these videos, I would love to learn how to teach in the way you do. Best wishes!

[@lauraberscheit]

Awesome video, Nancy! So glad to see you again! Congratulations on baby Jack! :)

[@NancyTaylor]

Thank you!

[@kaybee3669]

Wow! That's great, thanks Nancy. [Thumbs up] :)

[@dr.halchalmers826]

[@simplyevon2249]

Thank you, Nancy. It's really helpful. More TPR VIDEOS please.

[@kimiya_s__]

Thank you so much😊❤that's gonna help me a lot in teaching. Tomorrow I have an online class and I'm going to use this method .

[@jeffreyk.356]

You're very interesting teacher.

[@campusacademydr.marwaelsha286]

Thanks a lot. Best of luck.

[@PAAKWAMEPAA]

excellent post! Gracias! I like your TPS methods, you are good. ;)

[@rociolopez1238]

Very nice videos

[@user-we7gv7ls1s]

انت رائعة..you are cool ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thefruitofherlips]

😆 you are superb!!!

[@teacherlisa163]

Ha - just looking at this again. :) Bling-tee bliss-kiss! :) I think you should get this new language written - "Nancy Notations!" It's kind of like Klingon, but much prettier! ;)

[@alissaquirk2749]

Hello! I loved your video. When you teach did you buy all the stuff that you have behind you?

[@teachermomo2624]

Thanks for showing the extra cellphone. I have been struggling with teaching circle on the phone screen.

[@lanlin8267]

I found modelling essential for adult/general english elementary level

[@deborahtchester686]

Hello Nancy ! After you go through the hiring process, background check etc. Do you have to take the quizzes to be certified before parents and students can book you for classes?

[@ksofman]

I love watching your videos, thanks! I have the same question someone asked you three months ago: Did you buy all the stuff you have behind you? Thanks!

[@NancyTaylor]

Yes! I got it at Target:) I didn't have it to start. Use what you have and you can create a space you love as you have the time and money!

[@viscusoj1]

Thanks! Can you please explain the reward system you were using for your level 4 student?

[@NancyTaylor]

Just found it at Target. I move the rocket along the path and we read about each stop along the way!

[@k_PopBlackpinK123kpop]

You are ❤️

[@englishcool247]

very pretty and interesting

[@englishmadeeasy1423]

Nice. I think I should get a small white board. Isn't it hard to hold it in front of the camera and write on it at the same time?

[@NancyTaylor]

If you get a good size it is very doable. I would practice with the whiteboard ahead of time to see if it is a good fit. I have all sizes, and I like the ones I had cut myself at Home Depot for a class set of 36 students:)

[@E_M_O_Lizzie]

What do you do with trial classes where the student is completely new and they don't understand that they need to draw. I tried each of the methods you talked about. I even used a mirror to show that they can draw and circle.

[@NancyTaylor]

That is all that you can do! I also click on the FAQ at the top of class and it has it translated to Chinese so you can copy and paste in the chat box for mom/dad to see. I also leave it in the feedback, which is always translated for them!

[@Doaa_Ahmad_Elhelo]

I like your strategies and it's the strategies that I'm looking for. Also I wanna add your video sequence in my research.. but I don't know how to mention you could I use educationalon trainer, researcher, blogger, teacher...? Or WHAT?

[@NancyTaylor]

Teacher or coach is what I go by. So happy to hear that these helped & I'd love for you to share!:)

[@teacherlisa163]

Is "Green" from VK swag, or is this a Nancy-purchase from someplace like Target or IKEA? :) If you have one, could you post a link for "Green" in your above description? :) AWESOME! :)

[@NancyTaylor]

Teacher Lisa He is from Usborne! He is the “What if” monster. My friend sells usborne books. I’ll get her info!

[@teacherlisa163]

Excellent, Nancy! Thank you! :)

[@prabhareddy3441]

Blingteabuskus what does that have to do with anything. Please answer me.I watch these but I need more understanding of taking up a non english students mind space on blingteabuskus or even humbug .... I do appreciate your encouragement.

[@NancyTaylor]

Just to show you what it feels like when learning a new language. I created the language to show you how our student's are learning English without being told in their own native language what the meaning or translation is. They learn through pictures, non-verbal communication and lots of practice and repetition to pick up the meaning of things! Does that help?!

[@ariellalima7229]

Bling tee bliskas!!

[@1000kennedydk]

Binge watching. I do "it" a lot.......................

[@TheLittlesunshine95]

What if in the “you do” part students don’t know the vocabulary? When are you teaching vocabulary then?

[@NancyTaylor]

The lesson plans should be built so that only new content is seen on the slides that you need to model. Anything that wasn't on the slide that you taught or introduced the child to you can assume has already been taught, but if the child hasn't mastered it you may have to step in and do some "we do". For VIPKid it says, "Introduce" in the top right corner for any new content.

[@TheLittlesunshine95]

Nancy Taylor Hi Nancy, thank you for your reply. I am an ESL teacher, non native speaker. I am watching your videos to learn more. I just wonder if you know a website that can help me to write my lesson plans for non native speakers, their first language is Spanish, but they are learning English. They are beginners and intermediate level. I appreciate it. Thank you

[@jessicapurple3737]

Does vip kid provide the props?

[@NancyTaylor]

They don't!

[@emilygrace1960]

I still don't understand what a "Blanetee blisskid" is... LOL! Am I missing something?

[@jsprivateclasses]

It's the language she invented.

[@MG-gq2rs]

Which language do you speak?

[@KillerFaceification]

I feel discouraged. I love teaching ESL. I do great with adults. But I want to make more money teaching children. The problem is that I am paralyzed from the chest down. I can move my arms, but not my fingers. How am I supposed to do all this tpr and modeling? I can't do all these hand signs, and I can't pick up random objects quickly.

[@mytj6729]

NO, I am not hiring you to model. lol

[@KarenMSmith-ck3ul]

good job but teachers need to be mindful of their learner group and consider cultural concepts. So much of what we do is eurocentric or assumed. Eg you showed a drawing of a baseball cap and then held up a xmas hat. Many ESL Ss do not have santa claus or baseball in their culture esp if they are refugees so they may be confused as to why the hat you are holding is related to the picture. In fact, if I don’t think baseball cap that drawing could be many other things like a ball, a pumpkin, a grass basket, a cake.

[@NancyTaylor]

Great point that I didn't even consider! Thanks Karen!
