and British CultureMy lessons & teaching style
As a teacher, I have a relatively laid-back style, and I focus more on interaction, rather than lecturing. My students would say that my classes are fun and quick-paced. I like to combine a variety of activities to keep students engaged and interested.
I have a lot of classes prepared, including a variety of curriculums and individual sessions. Please contact me for more information!My teaching material
