Ich als Lehrkraft
I've taught English in all kinds of settings -- virtually 1:1, 1:3, over the phone, in-person, and in classrooms.
I have a TESOL certification (100 hours).
Since I spent over a decade studying foreign languages in and out of academic settings, I am very familiar with different teaching methods and approaches. I can relate to my students' learning struggles and offer advice based on my own experience.
한국어 원어민들에게 가르쳐 주는 경험이 있습니다. 선생님이 한국어를 배워서 보통 영어를 배우는 문제가 뭔지 알게 됐습니다.
También no tengo problema entendiendo el español de mis estudiantes cuando es necesario.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I am a firm believer in the success of conversation-based teaching. However, I encourage my students to be well-rounded users of their target language by providing them with opportunities to also use their reading, writing skills along with their listening and speaking. Since knowing another language is a gateway into a new culture, I use every opportunity to incorporate both current events and history to change a class into something beyond just learning English.
