InterestsHistoryEnvironment & NatureTravelMusic
My name is Niis, I grew up in the United Kingdom but I have been travelling my whole life. I am currently based in the UK but I have also lived in Germany for five years and I speak four languages. English, Somali, German and Portuguese.
I love learning languages, I have a lot of friends whose mother tongues are different to mine and I just love this moment when we speak in their mother tongue and I get to know my friend in a completely different way. As Nelson Mandela said “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I would say I am quite relaxed but stern. I want you to reach your potential, goals and dreams! I would make a tailor-made plan for each of my students and in our lessons we would try to ONLY speak English. I find that this kind of immersion-style is honestly the best for learning English. We would talk, I would listen to you and we would navigate the lesson totally according to your interests in the English Language.
My lessons & teaching style
In our lessons, it would, of course, mainly be based on conversation and I could teach you a lot of British Slang and I would help you in a more practical way. How to use the English language the way native speakers do. I wouldn't make the lessons unnecessarily hard but I would push you to your best! To reach your potential and maybe even try to teach you how we Brits speak in this accent if that is your dream haha!
