Let’s turn your goals into results—one lesson at a time!Me as a Teacher
I believe that by being loyal, punctual, and professional, I can inspire students to do their best and achieve their goals. I am a go-getter who works hard to achieve the goals I set for myself, while also motivating others to reach theirs through positive reinforcement. I have found that my ability to exercise patience and genuinely care for my students has been very successful. I measure my success by my ability to communicate at any level necessary to connect with my students and help them achieve the results they desire.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method focuses on engaging students, eliciting information, and giving them as much free practice as possible. I emphasize grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, while also ensuring that reading and writing receive proper attention. I believe in creating a balanced approach where all skills are developed, and students are actively involved in their own learning process.My teaching material
