Used correctly, it’s the springboard to with students doing most of the work before they even sit down. It’s also the first ten minutes of your lesson already planned.
Find something on YouTube that is relevant to your topic, vocabulary set or grammar point. For some great videos, check out Jamie Keddie’s lesson stream .
Mr. Bean is great for lower levels; Monty Python are funny for higher ones.
Make sure you talk to students about what they watched. Did they enjoy it? Did they hate it? Generate discussion on and from the video you all watched.
However, the greatest academic and business minds regularly set aside time to think and plan what they are going to say or do. Here are a couple of thinking questions you could give as homework.
‘Think about the best things about your country. Explain them to yourself in English. You’ll tell the class about it tomorrow.’
‘Think about the most important person in your life and why they are/were important. Describe them to yourself in English. You’ll tell your partner about it tomorrow.’
‘Think about your ambitions. Explain what you hope to do in the future to yourself in English. You’ll tell the class about them tomorrow.’
In the digital age this could be a picture or a a film as well as something real. Students bring in an item and then tell the rest of the class about it. Make sure you get other students to ask questions and, if you have a very , split the learners into groups so you can get through the presentations quicker.
If students can’t talk to each other then they might be able to find someone online using or on a virtual world like .
Lots of students only want to practice with native speakers or those who speak English fluently. Don’t let them think speaking to each other won’t help them improve. There are hundreds of great discussion questions from ITESLJ http://iteslj.org/questions/
As always, make sure you ask them questions about what they talked about in the next session.
. Set one as a piece of homework asking students to notice something about the lyrics. This could be a language point or the story.
Grammar songs
Present Simple/continuous
She is leaving Home – The Beatles It’s Raining Men – The Weather Girls Singing in the Rain Past Simple
Summer Loving – Grease Soundtrack / Candle in the Wind – Elton John / Dido – Best Day
Present Perfect

Future Tense

She’s Leaving Home – The Beatles
Bare-naked Ladies – Bank Job (lovely story about a heist gone wrong)
Waltzing Matilda – The Pogues
I got students , among other things, their dream house, their dream car, an invention they would like to create, the perfect school, the perfect jail or the perfect hotel.
A word of warning though, confident students who are creative will love these tasks but other students might bitterly hate them.
of something that they will show to the rest of the class in the next lesson. You could get them to email this to you or print it out, or just show it on their phone. It could be something they love, hate, need, an important possession, a person…anything… as long as they can talk about it with the rest of the class.
Again, the assessment for this activity lies in the students taking time to think about what they are going to say. Make sure students ask questions about the pictures.
For homework, ask students to find a good anecdote in their language which they can then recount to the rest of the class in English. There are some great anecdotes at , but if you have your own they will be much better.
Comics are great homework reading - click for a big list
There are also some good ‘choose your own adventure’ kind of stories at ‘ ’.
Really… Ask your students to play them and then tell you what they enjoyed or didn’t enjoy about them. These could be games they already have at home or something online.
Vocab and grammar games like are great for improving spelling and the mechanics of language, but there isn’t anything to talk about.
Adventure games ( )– are a great way of getting students to engage with something and they will have something to discuss in class about what they saw. A classic is .

Let’s go over the 10 Best At-Home Workouts so you can start training today: no gym or equipment required!
Home workout #3: advanced bodyweight, home workout #4: the star wars workout, home workout #5: parkour (for beginners), home workout #6: the 20-min hotel routine, home workout #7: attack of the angry birds, home workout #8: high-intensity interval training, home workout #9: train like batman, home workout #10: the plp progression, bonus no-equipment workout: the playground circuit.
Let’s jump right in!
No matter which at-home workout you pick, I want you to start with one important thing:
I cover why you should always warm up in an article found right here. It doesn’t have to be much, though. Give it about five minutes to get your muscles active and your heart rate up, and practice some easier variations of the movements you are about to do in your workout routine.
For example, if your workout includes squats and push-ups, you could do a couple of minutes of generalized movement to get the blood pumping, like marching in place, arm and leg swings, etc., and then follow that up with some assisted squats and countertop push-ups.
This will help you do exercises properly and help prevent injury.
Here is NF Senior Coach Staci (you might know her incredible story ) showing you many beginner options you can use to warm up as well:
If you’re curious, here’s my personal (advanced) warm-up:
Our goal isn’t to tire you out, instead we want to warm you up.
That’s step one.
Completing your chosen at-home workout would be step two.
Below, you’ll find 10 sequences you can follow along with!
This at-home routine, as we lay out in our Beginner Bodyweight Workout article, is as follows:
2 circuits of:
We also turned it into a fun infographic with superheroes, because that’s how we roll:
The above is what we call “ circuit training ,” with the objective being to run through the workout sequence once, and then again.
Note: Not a milk drinker?
If you don’t have milk in the house for the rows, find something of roughly the same weight with a good handle.
Also, if you want to download this Beginner Bodyweight Workout as a worksheet, you can do so when you sign up in the box below:
It’ll help you track your progress as you begin your training.
Our original bodyweight workout from 2009 is a great step up from the beginner bodyweight workout when you’re ready for more of a challenge. It has roughly the same structure but with some more challenging variations of the exercises.
3 circuits of:
You can progress the workout by adding a 4th round, increasing the reps of any individual exercise, or making an exercise harder by doing a more challenging variation (for example, decline push-ups instead of regular push-ups).
If the two at-home workouts above are too easy for you, move on to our Advanced Bodyweight Workout .

I warn you, the above sequence will hurt… in a good way. You should be proud if you can get through this three times.

Do you have access to a hallway that you can commandeer for a bit?
Then you can do our Star Wars Workout !
It’s designed to be done in a very small space, like your home’s hallway…or an escape pod.
The “Padawan” Level of this workout is:
If you want to advance to the Jedi Knight or Master Levels, check out The Star Wars Workout, which will also offer you a full description of each move.
Have you ever wanted to try parkour but always felt intimidated or worried you would hurt yourself? Well, have no fear—we have just the workout for you.
Like any other type of training, parkour can and SHOULD be progressed slowly over time.
Starting off with advanced jumps and tricks if you don’t yet know how to land safely, or how to absorb impact into a roll is just setting yourself up for disaster.
Check out our Definitive Guide to Parkour for Beginners to learn more about the origins of parkour and various exercise progressions. Ready to give it a try for yourself? Our very own Coach Matt (pictured above) has put together training templates and free videos explaining how to progress each of the movements when you sign up for our free guides here.
Sometimes, you just plain find yourself stuck in a hotel room. Maybe you can find the hotel gym, but I bet it’s terrible! It probably has 2 machines, a broken treadmill, and no free weights.
Instead, how about a 20-minute workout you can do in the room itself?! Utilize the furniture to its full potential.
Set the alarm clock to 15 minutes from now and see how many circuits you can do!
Check out our full post on hotel circuits if you want Level 3 !
The Angry Birds Workout is designed to be done when you have 5 or 10 minutes to kill.
Sort of like playing Angry Birds…
Here’s how The Angry Birds Workout Plan works: it’s deceptively simple – only four major movements.
If you don’t have time to run through the whole sequence, no problem!
Depending on how much time you have during the day, you can do your whole workout at once, or break up your training into four different sessions throughout the day (with each session being ONE of the exercises).
Here’s a sample day for your No-Equipment Workout:
You could even split it up over two days if needed, but the goal would be to do the whole sequence at once.
The main Angry Birds Workout article describes in detail Levels 1-6, but here’s Level 3 for you:
Once you’ve done the complete routine, you have my permission to whip out your phone and play the actual game!
You don’t have to head to the gym to do High-Intensity Interval Training . You can do a complete routine right in your own home!
HIIT is just following a specific regimen where you vary your speeds and intensity throughout a shorter run, swim, bike, or row.
Unless you have a giant backyard, running at home might be tough.
But you know what doesn’t require a lot of room?
To complete a burpee:
Tip: Having trouble reaching all the way to the floor? Elevate your hands on a steady surface, like the edge of a sturdy bench. You won’t have to reach as low in your squat, and you may be able to control your push-ups better!
Check out our full guide on How to Start Interval Training for some more ideas on HIIT workouts.
You can also check out our post “ The 20-Min HIIT Workout for Home ” for another living-room-friendly interval routine!
We love the Caped Crusader here at Nerd Fitness, so naturally we have The Batman Bodyweight Workout for you to try!
Bonus points if you somehow do this no-equipment workout in a cave, as that’s how Bruce Wayne would roll. [1]
This workout is separated into two days for you.
Here’s a video for the first day:
Batman No-Equipment Workout Day 1:
Here’s a video for the second day:
Batman No-Equipment Workout Day 2:
This is a relatively advanced workout already, but if you want to progress to the next level, check out the main Batman Bodyweight Workout for tips on how to do just that.
The PLP is a progressive program in which you complete one additional rep of three exercises – Pull-Ups , Lunges, and Push-Ups – every day, for two months.
NOTE: This is NOT a beginner program, and should not be attempted unless you have been training consistently and can do multiple repetitions of pull-ups and push-ups with great form.
Like this perfect push-up:
And this perfect pull-up:
Here’s how the PLP Progression works:
How long do you keep doing this?
As originally envisioned by Chad Waterbury, the PLP Workout lasts 60 days. [3]
Yeah…by the end of it, you’ll be doing more than 50 pull-ups.
There are two versions:
Complete your required reps each day in as many sets as you need, whenever you need to. The goal is to do it in as few sets as possible, but enough to complete each rep with proper form.
We’d like to throw our hat in the ring and introduce a third (dare we say, better?) version of this workout.
Here’s the thing, for most people pull-ups will be much harder than push-ups, which will be much harder than lunges.
Also, you may need more rest time in between workouts than continually adding reps and working out every day.
Here’s our updated version of this program:
Perform the workout 3 times per week, with a rest day in between.
Each successive week, add 5 reps to the lunges, 3 reps to the push-ups, and 1 rep to the pull-ups. So your week 2 would be 25 lunges, 18 push-ups, and 11 pull-ups. Week 3 would be 30 lunges, 21 push-ups, and 12 pull-ups, etc.
Rinse and repeat until you complete 8 weeks of the program!
If at any time, a movement feels way too easy, add an additional 5 reps to it and continue counting up from there.

Do you have a nearby playground? Why not work out there?! If you have kids, you can do it together. Or let them ignore you.
I’ll give you a Level One workout, and a Level Two. Check out The 20-Minute Playground Workout for some Level Three exercises.
After you’ve gone through a complete set three times, go down the slide!
Throughout our Online Coaching Program , we get two common questions for those wanting to train at home:
The answer to both of these: yep !
Let’s tackle them one by one.
#1) Can working out at home help me build muscle?
You can 100% build muscle mass at home.
Just ask our friend Jimmy here:
Read more on how Jimmy turned into Spider-Man from home!
The trick is to follow a progressive overload strategy, as Coach Jim outlines in this video:
With progressive overload, we want to make our workouts more and more challenging, thus putting additional strain on our muscles.
So to build muscle with home workouts, focus on:
That will help you build strength and muscle from your casa.
#2) Can working out at home help me lose weight?
You can totally train at home for a successful weight loss strategy.
Again, we have a great example with one of our Online Coaching Clients , Sarah the Supermom:
The trick here is to couple your home workouts with adjustments to your nutrition.
We’re big believers that you can’t outrun your fork, so any successful weight loss plan will include a focus on building a healthy plate.
That will look something like this:
If you want some help adjusting your nutrition, I’ve got two great resources for you:
We just reviewed 10 workouts you can do at home (plus one you can do in a park ).
You don’t have to stick to these though!

Homework was always one of the worst things about school, but you might have a different opinion about it if you knew you could get paid for doing it. And thanks to the internet, it’s now easier than ever to do homework for money .
If you have a passion for math, science, english–or you’re just really strong in these subjects and want to make money by doing homework– you could have a new side hustle in no time.
The best part? You get to choose how often and when you want to work, depending on how many assignments you decide to take on.
Keep reading as I breakdown the best websites to get paid to do homework, so you can turn your knowledge into cash.
Looking for other quick money making ideas? Checkout :
The number of sites that let students list their homework and assignments is growing, and there are so many ways to do people's homework for money these days.
So if you want to earn money online for free , keep reading as I cover the ins and outs of each platform to help you find the one (or more than one) that is right for you!
One of the best ways to get paid to do homework is to offer your services on SweetStudy, formerly known as HomeworkMarket.
Getting started on SweetStudy is also super easy!
Once you create your profile, you add your skills and set your homework helper rate so students can hire you to help them with their homework questions .
Students on SweetStudy also upload questions and assignments they need help with.
If you find an assignment you want to complete, you upload your answer to the site with your preferred price. Students can only view complete answers after submitting payment, ensuring you get paid for your help.
And another way to make money with SweetStudy is to become a tutor.
If you want to become a verified tutor, you include a description that outlines your degrees and areas of expertise. This lets you set higher rates and look more appealing to students looking to pay for their homework.
You can choose from many subjects and types of work, including doing homework, proofreading homework, and answering questions for cash .
TutorMe is a little different from getting paid to do homework with SweetStudy since the platform helps students with their learning process.
However, it's still an excellent option for making money as a tutor.
On TutorMe, you can make money as a private tutor for a range of subjects like :
To apply, you submit information about your background, educational experience, and work experience.
You also have to be 18 or older and be enrolled in an accredited university or have already completed your degree.
Overall, this is a great online tutoring job for college students or graduates, and once you're approved as a tutor, you're ready to make some money!
TutorMe alerts you when a student needs help with a subject you teach. If you accept the assignment within 3 minutes, you connect with the student to tutor them after they pay.
The site makes the process fun, as you can communicate with the student via audio/video and use a virtual whiteboard or screen share to help with your lesson.
TutorMe pays $16 per hour as well, making it a great way to make money by doing homework and teaching students about topics they're struggling with.
If you’re a college or university student, then Studypool is a great place for you to get paid doing homework.
You have to write a 200-word essay and go through an interview process on Studypool’s policies to get started, but this process is mostly looking to make sure you’re proficient in English .
Once you’re approved, you can get started right away answering live questions and doing assignments to get paid to do homework.
Studypool lets you browse assignments, bid on jobs, and negotiate with students. Once a student accepts your bid and you submit the assignment or answers, you get paid if Studypool and the student approve the work.
You can also sell notes for cash with Studypool, and overall, it's an effective way to make money doing homework, offering tutoring help, or cashing in class notes.
A helpful tip is to bid on many homework questions at a time. This lets you get a steady stream of short assignments to work on to keep you busy and keep the cash flowing in.
Another option to make money doing homework is to work with School Solver.
However, unlike some paid homework gigs that pay you for doing the entire assignment, School Solver doesn't want its tutors to do all of the work.
Rather, the platform lets you answer questions homework questions for cash, but you have to show your work so students can actually learn in the process.
Once you register as a tutor and complete your profile, you complete a quiz on every subject you want to help out with. If you get at least 90% on the quiz, you qualify for that subject.
To make money doing homework, you answer questions students post on School Solver. As mentioned, you have to provide a full explanation or demonstration of how you found the answer. Students can preview the answer but won’t be able to view it fully until they pay you.
Students set how much they're willing to pay for homework answers, so you can decide what questions are worth your time and effort.
School Solver also lets students reach out if they need clarification or are unhappy with the answer. In this case, you have a certain amount of time to respond before the student receives a refund.
The best part about School Solver is that answered questions get moved to its search engine database .
So, if other students need help with similar questions, they can search for it, find your answer, and pay to see it– meaning you can get paid passive income and over for answering a single question!
Reddit might not be the first place you think to go when you’re trying to get paid to do homework, but it might be one of the best!
There are actually lots of ways to make money on Reddit , and this includes doing people's homework for money. And the best place to start is Reddit's r/homeworkforcashreddit .
This subreddit has 16.1k members who are always looking for help on everything from tests to assignments. The homework help topics range from computer science and photoshop, to calculus and accounting.
On r/hwforcash, students post assignments and explain the subject, assignment details, deadline, and what they're willing to pay for help so you know exactly what you're getting into.
You can respond to listings right on Reddit and get in touch with the student to ask further questions and to arrange payment.
Just note that students can scam you since Reddit is more informal, so be prepared to go through some vetting before the student accepts your offer.
If you're still wondering how to do homework and earn money, you can always try answering questions on 24houranswers.
This site requires helpers to have a minimum of a Master's degree, and you help college students with their homework.
You can still become a 24houranswers tutor if you have, but the company only considers you if you have an exceptional record and can demonstrate you’re a high performing student.
Once you're an approved homework helper, you can browse homework postings and give an estimate of the time it’ll take for you to complete the assignment.
Next, you negotiate a rate with the student, complete the homework, and get paid quick cash .
Overall, 24houranswers is one of the best ways to do homework for money if you have a Master's degree since the hourly rates can be quite high since the topics are usually more complex.
Help with Assignment accepts tutors who have a Master’s or Ph.D or over 2 years of teaching experience in your chosen field.
You also have to pass one or more tests when you sign up in order to be approved to do homework for money.
But once you’re a tutor on the site, you can help students with their assignments, give live online tutoring, or submit answers to the site's solution library and help students later on.
This is one of the more straightforward ways to earn money for doing homework, but if you have the credentials, Help With Assignment can be quite lucrative.
After all, there's a $9.50 per page minimum fee, so an essay or complex assignment could easily be $50 or more!
Paper Coach is the one stop shop for writing assignments, specializing in every level, from high school to Ph.D. students.
In other words, if you want to write essays for money or complete other written assignments, this is the website for you.
You apply to Paper Coach by submitting your CV on its website.
Writers must have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree, but the higher your level of education, the easier it is to get hired.
As for the work you do, students submit project details like :
You can negotiate prices with students, but if you find a gig you're happy with, you do the work and submit it for review before getting paid.
Depending on the length of an assignment, you're probably looking at $16 to $50 per assignment you complete.
Toppr, formerly known as HashLearn, is an Indian-based homework help website that helps students in grades 8-12, JEE, NEET and CET, with every subject ranging from science to math.
You must be based in India to make money doing homework through Toppr, and the platform verifies your ID when you sign up.
Furthermore, you complete an academic exam to prove you're an expert in the subjects you want to help out with, plus an English comprehension test.
If students want your assistance, they can request an online tutoring session that lasts 20 minutes.
Another popular option for doing homework for money is to use JustAnswer.
This website lets you help students with their questions for many different topics like :
Overall, it's one of the more versatile education websites out there, and if you're an expert in some niche topic, there's probably a way for you to make money with JustAnswer.
To get started, you apply with your social security number, a valid ID, and other licenses or certifications relevant to your area of expertise. JustAnswer also runs a background check on your credentials, which takes a few days.
Once you’re accepted, you can get to work answering questions!
JustAnswer states that its top experts can earn thousands of dollars per month, but this isn't the normal case for everyone.
However, you can earn hundreds of dollars for your time and high hourly rates, especially if you're in an expensive niche like finance or law.
Extra Reading – The Best Online Jobs That Pay You Daily .
If you’re a writer at heart, you can find students in your area or at your school who need help with their essays.
My university offered a writing center, where tutors would help brainstorm a thesis, build an argument or outline, and also offer revision and editing. It was extremely helpful during my undergrad and lot’s of students could benefit from the same service.
You can also advertise your services on Facebook Marketplace and set your own rates either hourly or per page. I think this is a great side husle for teens as well as college students as long as you're a talented writer.
Overall, the freelance writing route probably makes more money, but working through your school makes getting work easier.
I suggest using the rates from other sites above to make sure you're competitive but also being paid well for your time.
Extra Reading – The Best Writing Jobs For Teens .
One final option to make money by doing homework is to walk through homework problems with students as a tutor.
You can offer online tutoring sessions or work with students on your campus if you prefer.
And again, universities and colleges might hire teaching assistants (TAs) to tutor students, so look for campus jobs as well if you want a reliable college side hustle .
Extra Reading – How To Make $2,000 Dollars Fast .

Some other platforms you can explore include :
This video from Max Stacks also shares some legit ways to earn money answering homework questions if you need even more ideas to start this online side hustle .
If you answer a few homework questions per month, you can likely make $50 to $200 a month or so in income. However, you can earn much more money if you help people with services like essay writing or test preparation .
In fact, test-prep tutors can make hundreds or thousands of dollars per month if they help with difficult tests like SATs. And essay writing can easily earn a few hundred dollars per essay if you're writing for college and university students.
Just ensure you're comfortable with doing homework for money before getting started. In most countries, writing essays for other people is against school rules, so keep this in mind.
Extra Reading – The Best Weekly Pay Side Hustles .
There are plenty of ways to get paid to do someone’s homework, and it’s all about finding the right subject and site for you!

Homework can be a drag, but it's got to be done to keep your grades up and stay on track during school. Going somewhere quiet, making a plan, and giving yourself breaks can all help you stay focused and on task to get your work done quickly. Try to keep your assignments organized and give yourself credit for completing hard or boring work, even if you didn’t want to.

Here's how it works: first, set a timer for 25 minutes. This is going to be your work time. During this 25 minutes, all you can do is work on whatever homework assignment you have in front of you. No email, no text messaging, no phone calls—just homework. When that timer goes off, you get to take a 5 minute break.
Every 25 minutes or so, take about 5 minutes to stretch and walk around to give your brain and body a quick rest. [11] 2. Eat snacks and drink water. Drink plenty of water and eat light, healthy, tasty snacks while you work to enjoy foods that you like, enhance your memory, and revitalize your brain and body.
2. Eliminate as many distractions as possible. Put your phone away, get away from your computer, and make your environment as quiet as possible. Giving homework your undivided attention will actually make it easier, because your mind won't be balancing different tasks at the same time.
Get up and walk or stretch occasionally, or even do jumping jacks or run in place for a couple of minutes. Standing up while you work is also a great way to boost your focus. [1] Try sitting on an exercise ball or wobbly chair when you're doing your homework. The movement may help you stay focused.
6. Eat Snacks and Drink Water. At the end of a long day, you may be mentally and physically tired. If you go straight into homework it may take you a long time to finish and it won't be your best work. Having some light healthy snacks and drinking plenty of water helps revitalize your brain and body.
Get personalized homework help for free — for real. Join for free. Brainly is the knowledge-sharing community where hundreds of millions of students and experts put their heads together to crack their toughest homework questions.
