Me as a Teacher
I would characterize myself as an ambitious and enthusiastic young teacher who hopes to bring positivity to each classroom. I am organized, prepared and present for each lesson. During lessons I aim to provide a calm, focused and friendly environment and I model a professional and positive attitude. I will be sure to motivate you when are doing well and help you understand what your problems are and how they can improve when you are not doing so well. Your lessons will be straight forward and clear with a variety of activities.
My lessons & teaching style
Whether there's a set course book or not I am ready to deliver effective lesson plans that will enable you to achieve your goals and fulfill your needs.
I use a 5 step lesson plan. Step one I will tell you what is about to take place and you will learn how it will help you. Step 2 will be the introduction of your new material followed by step 3 guided practice. Step 4 you will be free to engage in independent practice and step 5 you will state the significance of what you have learned and demonstrate mastery.
I use the communicative approach as it emphasizes that the goal of language learning is communicative competence. My goal is to facilitate, help, advise and to be a language resource.

I recently had the opportunity to take an English lesson with Tashe Graaff and found it to be a positive experience. She made the lessons interesting and tailored to my individual needs. Her teaching style is supportive and she is very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking to improve their English skills.

She is an excellent teacher, and you ask me why. Tashe can listen to you and ask questions, and this means that she listens to you with great attention. This teacher works in the silent room and does this with a concentration on you and your needs. I think that, if you will be able to explain your goals and aims to this teacher, that will mean that she could help you. She is smart, patient, and has an open mind.
