English Tutors in Alpharetta, GA

I think that students learn better when they are comfortable and relaxed. I can draw upon twenty years of teaching experience to create a teaching environment where students feel confident enough to speak English without the fear of making mistakes. Mistakes are important because we learn from them.

I strongly believe that we "learn by doing" so in my lessons students are encouraged to be active and there is a bigger focus on practical tasks rather than teacher focussed lectures. At first it may seem a little challenging but once my students make their first breakthrough, the sky's the limit!

Don't worry, it's not all serious, we will have some fun along the way too. I have learnt that patience and a good sense of humour are absolutely vital for teachers and students alike.

I enjoy interacting with students and getting to know them better. By understanding their unique personalities and interests, I can adapt the class experience to each student's individual needs, ensuring a more personalized and effective learning journey for everyone.

I believe that every small step forward is a significant achievement, and I want to remind you of that. It's important to acknowledge and celebrate the progress we make because each step brings us closer to our goals and aspirations.

I love using examples from music, films, and books in my teaching because it helps my students better understand and use the language in real-life situations.

While I am here to help improve your English, I understand that correcting every single mistake you make can disrupt the flow of your thoughts. Instead, I will point out certain things when it's appropriate, in order to help you better your English without disrupting the flow of your communication.

I would describe my teaching style as coaching and facilitator. I try to ask the right questions and help students find the right answers with the help of demonstration and activities. Each class is different. As a teacher, I always try to clearly define the goals taking into account my students’ needs and expectations. Then, I come up with a well-organized plan considering what my students want to achieve. I know students benefit from an active learning experience and can create relevant connections between content knowledge and skills and applications in the real world. So, I carefully follow each student’s progress in order to ensure they achieve their goals successfully. My classes are designed to develop all skills (speaking, writing, reading, and listening). I put a lot of emphasis on speaking skills, though. If you want to have a dynamic and engaging learning experience, you are in the right place!

When I teach, I adapt the content to my students' needs. I have the expertise to accommodate lessons depending on the goals and objectives you desire to attain. In addition, I'm fond of covering the 4 principal learning areas (speaking, writing, listening, reading) in each class to complement a thorough experience. Nevertheless, I'm aware of the vast majority of students who prefer to enhance the speaking and writing parts, and thus, I'll nurture your learning with the best top-notch guidance and practice so you can master productive skills.

In terms of feedback, I don't correct on the spot. On the contrary, I impart it after activities have concluded. I consider allowing students to talk without pauses and interruptions boosts their fluency and confidence considerably. Therefore, I'll point out reformulations and make discovery questions to reassure you grasp the aims of the lesson.

I support the classes' information by coming up with at least 3 examples in terms of grammar, vocabulary, context, etc. You can assure I'll solve all the questions you might have when you require them. Furthermore, I conduct real-life scenario activities because those are the ones you can apply on a daily basis. With that being said, A you'll feel fulfilled to demonstrate your English abilities to anyone!
