Listen to my English
My teaching style 🎯
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.
