My lessons involve worksheets, pronunciation practice, discussions as well as theory based learning with the material chosen by the student - with my advice.
I prefer to evaluate the students level of speaking, listening and comprehension, though casual conversation about their interests and purpose of study.

Throughout my career, I have consistently prioritized building trusting relationships with students, offering strategic, tailored guidance to learners of all levels from different walks of life. My ability to communicate clearly and manage expectations has not only led to high client satisfaction but also helped students achieve successful outcomes and the ability to express themselves in English, confidently and with ease.

My experience has allowed me to hone and strengthen my organizational skills and reinforced my belief in the importance of proactive, student-centered teaching. My approachable and flexible nature, allows me to customize my teaching methodology based on the student needs, in order to fully meet the students expectations.

Using real life situations, relevant topics as well as learning materials, has aided in the success of my prior and current students. Feedback sessions, assigning homework and Q&A sessions are a pivotal part of my teaching style. Using digital media, realia, current affairs, podcasts and books is my way of keeping learners engaged. I focus manly on STT (Student Talk Time) and prioritize the students goals and expectations. Open and honest communication is key to maintain client satisfaction so I pride myself in establishing a rapport wit students from the beginning. My patience and relatability allows students to open up more and worry less about mistakes
