Hello! I love to help my students improve their pronunciation! It gives me a really good feeling to help my students. :)
Me as a Teacher
I have a very calm and encouraging teaching style. It's very important to me that my students feel comfortable as it will help them learn pronunciation much better. :)
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is as follows:
Step 1: Choose one sound to improve. There are 44 sounds in American English, and the most important to pronounce accurately are: the "R" sound, the "short i", and the "short a".
Step 2: Learn how to create the sound. Know what your tongue and mouth should be doing.
Step 3: Drill the sound with the IPA until it is comfortable.
Step 4: Learn the most common words that use your target sound.
Step 5: Practice simple sentences using the most common words.
Step 6: Advanced practice (paragraphs, minimal pairs, tongue twisters etc).
Step 7: Test the sound again. Do you still need more practice?
