The best part about teaching is seeing students overcome language challenges. When they are able to achieve greatness, this is when the student becomes proud of their work and what lies ahead. These milestones go a long, long way, as they improve their ESL skills.

Shane's Feedback
Document this milestones as often as you can. They might not come very often. But, the more the student can reflect on where they have come, the more they will be inspired to keep pressing on during the hard days of the year.
