Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My "main focus" during each lesson is to help you (1) build your vocabulary (2) improve and use correct pronunciation while speaking (3) improve your voice intonation(while reading) and (4) improve your listening comprehension. To accomplish (1-4) I use a variety of free chat techniques, PDFs, internet websites, text documents, image files, etc.
My lessons are fun, fast paced and usually there is an "objective/goal" that both student and I want to achieve each lesson. At times, I will assign review homework to the student). In general, I want to create a comfortable yet educational atmosphere so that the student can relax and learn valuable knowledge during each lesson.
It's a nice conversation. Scott is very kind and guide me to speak,also provides some suggestions to me. It's my first lesson. Thank you Scott and glad to chat with you.

The teachers are talkative and full of enthusiasm for teaching. He would carefully help me correct my pronunciation while reading and practice with me. I recommend everyone to sign up.

I hope that the next time we have an article discussion class, we can skip the reading and vocabulary part, because I will do my homework very seriously,we can spend more time using these words.

Unfortunately, Scott can be demotivating and in four lessons I was afraid of making mistakes because he can
laugh at it or say that he does not understand you.
