Me as a Teacher
My goal as a teacher is to help you improve your English Language skills. Whether you are learning for your education, career, or just to make friends, I am here to help you realize your dream of becoming Proficient in the English Language. I am a firm believer in the communicative language teaching approach and task-based language teaching. This means my lessons are focused on YOU and YOUR ability to communicate with other speakers of the English Language. I promise you are not getting a dull and boring teacher. I will not overwhelm you with boring grammar rules and endless lists of vocabulary. Our lessons will be fun, interesting, but effective.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons and teaching style are based off of the communicative language teaching approach and task-based language teaching. which focus on the ability to communicate in English. You can choose from my Personalized Lessons ranging from Conversational practice, IELTS exam prep, and much more! Each Personalized Lesson is designed FOR YOU and YOUR Language Learning Needs and Goals, or you can choose from my textbook centered lesson plans. These will be based off of the textbook of your choice and designed according to that textbook. They are not the same as my Personalized Lessons. Whichever you choose I will work as hard as needed so you can achieve your Language Learning Goals!
