My students say I’m a strict teacher. I tend to ask a lot of questions during my lessons, but that’s because I want to make sure you understand all the tiny secret aspects of English. also, you will often see me scribbling something. Don’t worry, I’m simply making notes in order to keep track of your strengths and areas to work on.

I also believe that correcting errors the moment I hear them isn’t a good idea because it impedes fluency, so I will wait for a good moment, and I will deal with all the errors I’ve heard at once.

I’m a big fan of pronunciation, so you can expect quite a bit of work on that in our lessons. It may seem weird or difficult at the beginning because we’ll be doing a lot of work on sounds, how to connect words together, etc., but you’ll appreciate it in the end.
