Lessons
All our lessons are tailored to your level and individual needs.
The lesson will begin with a warm-up involving general chat, storytelling games or jokes.
We will move onto activities to help you to understand the tale we are working on.
The tale will then be told. We may work on one longer story over a few weeks or several short ones. The student's preferences will be discussed in the first lesson.
The story will be followed up by more activities.
In advance of your lessons, you will be sent a written/spoken task to complete. This is to help us to assess your level. This is not compulsory but will save time on your first lesson if you do complete these tasks.

Sally Kawamura
I am the founder of Sparrow Stories. I have been teaching since 2003 in universities and language schools in Japan and the UK. I created Sparrow Stories as stories teach language and cultural tradition very effectively. The stories I enjoy telling are mainly from Scotland and the Bible. I am also happy to help students work on their own material.
