The Difference Between ON Time vs. IN Time - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ITTT
Register now & get certified to teach english abroad!
The two prepositions "on time" and "in time" are widely used but also often used incorrectly. Let's take a look at the difference between the two below.
When something happens "on time", it happens at the planned time.
= punctual
= on schedule
= at the arranged time
= at the planned time
= at the correct time
= neither early nor late
The meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m.
-> This means I wasn’t late. I arrived at the planned time.
-> This means she never arrives at the correct time. She is never punctual.
When you are in time, you are early enough to have spare time, usually to be able to do something else.
= before something happens
= before the scheduled time
= with time to spare

Am I on the Right Track? Forking the Paths of Teaching - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Teaching Ideas
"You speak too much in the class," "you always finish their sentences," "you answer back to the teens," "the classroom is a mess," "your lessons are boring." That was the feedback I would usually get in college during my teaching practice. So the final questions were always the same, "When am I going to be a good teacher?" What does it take apart from reading the theory?" "Why am I failing?" In this essay, I will briefly describe some of my experiences when teaching and the struggles on the way. I will also mention the importance of applying specific methods and techniques, taking different roles and the relation between lesson planning and the material to be used in class.

How to choose the right TEFL course? - ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ TEFL FAQs
Deciding which TEFL course suits your individual learning style, your current situation and your future plans can be difficult as there is no standard length of training or a fixed syllabus that providers have to adhere to.
