Me as a Teacher
In my personal experience, I find the best way of learning a language is by helping the student gain confidence over time by allowing him or her a comfortable and enjoyable study environment. This can be done by first getting to know each student's level with the language and then identifying his or her weaknesses that he/she can work on. If we are going to work on vocabulary, for instance, I find it useful to provide context for the new word and always show alternative ways of formulating one particular phrase. This makes it easier for the student to learn and get closer to talking more naturally and fluently in English by learning different ways of expressing the same thought.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes can vary from an interesting and engaging conversation practice to an educational and instructive lesson centered on grammar rules. I like to use teaching material such as visual aids, article examples, or short clips for listening exercises that help my students become more acquainted with English but also have fun at the same time. One of the most important things to know when learning a language is to always provide context and alternatives of words, phrases, or idioms so that they will be firmly ingrained in memory. I always try my best to build a comfortable yet engaging study environment for the best learning experience.

This was my first lesson with Teacher Yusuf and I was impressed by how skillful he is as a teacher! I might have found the lesson I was looking for for a long time! It was a conversation lesson, but I was surprised by how informative it was. Teacher Yusuf is a teacher who can assist you get out of a plateau (+ your own effort is necessary, of course!), I assume! During the conversation, he makes notes in the chat in detail with corrections and alternative expressions of what you’ve just said. And he does this in a flowing manner, without interrupting or losing track of a conversation. And he sends you a chat history after the lesson so that you can learn from it. This is exactly the kind of lesson you would like to have when you are aiming to push yourself to the next level of proficiency. It’s an interactive and bidirectional lesson, where you can mainly put your effort into output and receive informative input at the same time. I will definitely continue taking his lessons and keep l

I have learned a lot of useful vocabulary about the topics that I am interested in. Teacher Yusuf is very good at teaching English. He can also describe the exact actions about the verbs that I don't know. Highly recommend👍
