Por ejemplo, entendí que la paciencia es la mejor herramienta que puedo utilizar para ayudar a mis estudiantes para satisfacer sus necesidades de aprender idiomas extranjeros.My lessons & teaching style
I can help my students depending on their capacities/abilities. That’s why I have to know their interests so that we can build a line to follow. With the communicative approach, I do my best to plan every lesson with my students of any level. Because they learn better and enjoy their learning when they participate in the process.
Puedo ayudar a mis estudiantes dependiendo de sus capacidades/habilidades. Por eso debo saber cuáles son sus intereses para construir una línea a seguir. Con el enfoque comunicativo, hago mi mejor esfuerzo para planear cada lección con mis estudiantes de cualquier nivel.

I am a language professor at a university and I really appreciate Sylla's classes and his approaches to language teaching and conversation practice. He effectively utilizes the chat feature simultaneously during our conversations and is flexible with class topics. Mèsi anpil, Sylla. Mwen apresye w.

Mwen te kòmanse leson ak Alain nan mwa janvye. Depi lè sa a, Kreyòl mwen an amelyore anpil. Chak leson avèk li se yon plezi. Nou travay ansanm nan yon anviwònman pozitif kote li pèmèt mwen eksplore lang lan atravè konvèsasyon enteresan nou yo, san jijman. Alain se yon bon pwofesè, e li montre anpil pasyans e entèlijans tout tan. Li vle m reyisi e toujou bay ankourajman. Mwen rekòmande kou li san okenn ezitasyon. Mèsi anpil, Alain!

Every lesson with Alain is amazing. He's a very intelligent and well-read man possessing not only knowledge of the languages that he speaks but also within the field of philosophy, politics, history and a plethora of other subjects. Every conversation with him finds a balance between being engaging and entertaining while of course remaining educational enough to improve my French to a level of conversational fluency. He has helped a lot with my acquisition of this language and our lessons are a highlight of my week.
