Practise classroom English for teachers

More and more teachers are asked to teach in English — in bilingual and international schools, CLIL programmes, and online classes — without ever having practised the spoken side of it. Explaining a concept clearly, giving instructions, handling a question you didn't expect, or speaking to a parent: it all happens live, in front of people.

Airi lets you rehearse classroom English privately. Explain a topic to her as if she were a student, practise clear instructions and transitions, handle an off-topic question, or role-play a parent meeting. She corrects gently and asks the kind of questions students really ask, so your lessons in English feel as natural as in your own language.

A quick example with Airi

I'm your student. Teacher, I don't understand what photosynthesis is.
Okay. Photosynthesis is how plants make their food using sunlight, water and air.
That's a clear explanation! But teacher — why do the leaves need to be green?
Good question. The green colour comes from chlorophyll, and it is what catch the sunlight.
Small fix: "it's what catches the sunlight." Great — you handled the follow-up like a pro.

How to get the most from it

Practise explaining out loud

Explain your next topic to Airi as a student. Simple, clear English is a skill.

Drill classroom phrases

"Open your books to page…", "Let's move on", "Who can tell me…" — make them automatic.

Rehearse the hard talks

Parent meetings and behaviour conversations in English need practice too. Ask Airi to role-play them.
