English Tutors in Olathe, KS

My teaching style involves a combination of effective communication, engaging strategies, and the ability to adapt to the online learning environment that best suits you. I am energetic and try to keep lessons entertaining. I create lessons that encourage active participation. Moreover, I integrate a variety of multimedia resources, such as videos, images, and interactive content. Lessons are modified according to your feedback. Every single class you will be using English. I use a variety of assessment methods to check your understanding. I tend to relate course content to real-world applications and examples. I show students the practical relevance of what you are learning.

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!

You may find me asking a lot of questions. That is because I try to get as much information as I can about you during our lessons so that I can personalise and create lessons based on your specific needs and wants as well as your goals. As a teacher, I act as a guide to help you to speak English naturally and confidently. We will practice pronunciation and I will help you to speak English freely at the end of each lesson.

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.
