Teaching methods
The practice tests young learners actually want to open
FLYER turns Cambridge YLE and TOEFL preparation into timed games, instant scoring and AI feedback on speaking and writing.
Rebuilding kanji from the radical up
Most learners memorise characters. The ones who read comfortably learned to see the parts inside them.
Physics you can hold
A kitchen scale, a bicycle wheel and a phone camera explain more about momentum than any diagram I have drawn.
Teaching theory through songs they already love
Scales feel like homework. The chord under a favourite chorus feels like a secret being handed over.
Phenomenon-based learning is not chaos
Six weeks on one question about the lake behind our school, and the tightest planning I have ever done.
Argument first, then sentences
Most IELTS writing bands in Hanoi are lost in the planning, not the grammar. Here is the ten minutes I now insist on.
Designing a lesson that works for everyone
Individual adaptations for six children collapsed by October. Designing one lesson with several routes through it did not.
The notebook I ask every student to keep
Two pages, three columns and a rule about what may never be written in it.
