1. I have younger siblings, 7 and 12 years old, so I'm used to talking with kids at those ages in a patient, encouraging way. 2. I'm experienced in Minecraft, including creating custom characters and models. 3. I work UK and US-based time zones. 4. I confirm I'm comfortable working at $5 per hour. 5. I'll send a short voice introduction directly once we're in touch, happy to record something warm and encouraging for a shy 6-year-old. 5. I'm based in Nigeria. I'd keep language very simple and repeat words often with the 6-year-old, building in short, encouraging phrases tied to what's happening in the game, "let's go," "I found one," so English attaches naturally to actions rather than feeling like a lesson. When the 10-year-old joins, I'd shift to slightly longer sentences while keeping everything warm and easy to follow. The parent listening in throughout is completely fine with me. If it'd ever help down the line, I also know other English speakers from Minecraft communities who could occasionally join for variety, happy to discuss that once we're underway and you're comfortable with how sessions are going. Happy to send the voice introduction as soon as you message me, would you like it now or after we confirm a first session time??

As a seasoned freelancer, I have shown great flexibility in applying my skills to meet clients' needs - and your project is no different. Though not within the design realm I typically traverse, I am an ardent supporter of early childhood education and recognize the power of play in language acquisition. Moreover, as a native English speaker from the Philippines, I am confident in my ability to communicate effectively with your children whilst respecting your language requirements. Whilst I may not possess direct experience in playing Minecraft, it has been humbling to witness its influence on friendship dynamics and creativity in young ones who are close to me. Your children's safety and emotional well-being are paramount for me; thus, I assure you that any game time will be free from offensive content or harsh tones. My time zone aligns perfectly with yours, and I am available during flexible hours to ensure regular sessions if the first one proceeds as planned. Please Note: While $5 per hour is indeed below my standard rate, I appreciate both the uniqueness and significance of this project, hence my willingness to adjust for your budget as an expression of my commitment. Trust me with this opportunity and let us work harmoniously towards enhancing your children's English language proficiency in a fun and engaging way.

? QUICK QUESTION BEFORE YOU HIRE SOMEONE… I recently worked with a similar project where I engaged young learners through Minecraft. The result was a noticeable improvement in their verbal skills and confidence, all while having fun together. I have over five years of experience working with children, fostering language skills in a playful environment. My background in early childhood education equips me to tailor sessions to each child’s level, ensuring they feel comfortable and encouraged. I understand your goal of creating a natural, engaging learning experience for your children. I will guide them through Minecraft activities, using simple language and repetition to build their vocabulary while keeping the sessions enjoyable and interactive. My focus will be on consistent communication and adapting to their needs for long-term success in their English learning journey. I am excited to help your children learn and grow through this fun medium. The difference between an average result and an exceptional one is usually decided before the work even begins.

Please read this Your approach might be favourable but wouldn't it be more effective if we focused on interactive storytelling while playing? This method can spark imagination and enhance language skills through engaging scenarios, making learning feel natural and fun. I have further ideas and strategies to make our sessions even more effective, and I’m happy to discuss these further, even if it’s unpaid. Just wanted to know: what are your preferred times for the sessions? Regards, Joshua Jaime Saunders
