How do people learn English on-line?

Its easy!How I work is as follows
Potential student contacts me via email.
We arrange to meet at a mutually convenient time on Skype/Yahoo messenger /MSM .
Or in person if we are local to each other.
We discuss the purpose and form of lessons required .
We set a timetable for the first -free- lesson lasting half an hour.
After the first lesson we agree a timetable and price plan to suit us both.
payment is through the secure pay pal system.
Then the lessons commence !
So what form do the lessons take?Well again it depends on the needs of the students.Here is an over view of how I approach teaching English to complete beginners.For a complete beginner I would start with images and individual words so that students begin to build up a 'word bank'.Each lesson would have theme ,for example ,food or sport.Once the student has developed some vocabulary we begin to add connectives and look at simple tenses.The work is planned so that the student builds upon and reuses what's already been learned and extends it with each new lesson.
