English Tutors in Nashville, TN

I’m quite flexible and easy-going during my lessons. I don’t like making my students repeat all the words and rules we have learned in the previous lesson as if it were an exam. However, we can certainly do small revisions without any pressure 😊. I believe that people learn English best when they have a personal motivation to do so. Therefore, I expect you to be responsible and ready to work as a team with me! 

I’m enthusiastic about grammar, so we’ll have a lot of exercises on various topics, especially English tenses! Additionally, I include some speaking practice in my lessons to help you use your vocabulary and grammar in conversation. 

You can expect a relaxed atmosphere during our lessons, as I try to be more of a friend than a traditional teacher. Feel free to make any requests or suggest topics you'd like to discuss during our speaking sessions!

No two students are the same, so I like to be open to/up-to-date on various learning styles/techniques and get to know my students so I can determine which method is best in order to meet their needs.

I find great value in a learner-centered approach. I love to have a class where everyone feels comfortable and participates, asks questions, feels understood, doesn't fear mistakes, (mistakes part of the learning process too!), and where we all learn from one another!

In my opinion, a successful class has good content, great conversation and is interactive. I want to see each student display their knowledge, life-experiences, and personal creativity in learning!

My teaching style is relaxed and approachable. Students instantly feel at ease when I begin our interactions. I provide them with the opportunity to express themselves in their own way, while also guiding them towards authentic expression of their thoughts.

I don't assign excessive homework. Typically, assignments are brief, taking no more than 15-20 minutes. However, I'm open to providing more extensive homework if students specifically request it.

I'm tech-savvy therefore I have lot's of tools and resources to make my students learning fun, interactive and memorable.

My students love the way I carry out my classes. There's always room for debates, thought-provoking ideas, creativity, and deep learning. I'm always told that I'm quite the energetic teacher. My classes are very much lively and full of interaction. I'm also described as being highly adaptable for the ways I tend to manage the different types of personalities.

I consider mistakes as part of the learning process. Whenever you make a mistake, I will give you a hint but don't expect me to correct you right in that moment. I prefer to give you some time to think about it, or I might challenge you by giving you hints and get you to guess the correct answer. That way, I'll make sure that you have not just learned the material, but you have also reached the point in which you will use that knowledge on your own, even when I'm not there to guide you.

My classes are usually diverse. We could be working on different aspects of the language or a particular set of skills. It could range from solely having speaking classes and conversations about various topics, to doing listening, reading, and writing activities. Expect to have grammar tips and lessons at every point, for I have a tendency towards perfecting the use of the language.
