Hello! My name is Mina, and I am a certified Master's English professor with a deep passion for language education. Specializing in literature, business English, and dynamic lessons for young learners, I bring over five years of teaching experience to the classroom. My fluency in six languages—including German and Japanese—allows me to offer a multicultural perspective, enriching the learning experience for my students. My teaching philosophy revolves around a student-centered approach, where lessons are meticulously tailored to align with each learner's unique goals and aspirations.Me as a Teacher
I'm an enthusiastic and dedicated English teacher with a deep passion for helping students achieve their language goals. My teaching approach is structured yet flexible, allowing for personalized lessons that address the unique needs and objectives of each student. I focus on creating a positive, supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to enhance their English skills. Committed to providing high-quality, interactive lessons, I strive to make language learning both enjoyable and effective, ensuring progress and satisfaction with every class.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are meticulously structured to cater to each student’s unique goals and learning style. We begin with a lead-in activity to review previous vocabulary and introduce new terms. The core of the lesson often includes a reading exercise where students skim for general meaning, read aloud for pronunciation refinement, and identify unfamiliar words. I guide students in contextualizing these words, ensuring a deeper understanding. We then engage in speaking practice, where students express their opinions on the text, and I provide targeted feedback on grammar and fluency. Homework typically involves a written assignment to reinforce the lesson's key concepts.My teaching material
