My lessons & teaching style
In my classes, I like to use visual effects, pictures, audio, and video, depending on the course and type of lesson. Materials are custom-made for specialist courses; pronunciation and accent reduction, while IELTS, PET, and Cambridge courses follow a structured curriculum based on the course syllabus.
With specialist training in ELT (BA), IELTS and TOEFL Test Prep, and TEFL/TESOL/TEYL, I was honoured to be recognized among the top 10 global teachers for one of Asiaâs leading online teaching companies. You will be excited to learn more in my classes.
