Me as a Teacher
Since 2014, I have been assisting both foreign and local individuals in learning the English language. This includes teaching proper grammar and speaking with proper pronunciation. Through the years, I have learned to approach each student with an open mind as I have realized that every student responds to different ways of teaching. Whether it means starting from the basics of building vocabulary, understanding grammar and sentence construction or utilizing various books and articles - I do my best to understand my students' needs and adjust accordingly.
My lessons & teaching style
In order to build a good foundation from where to start the teaching process, I have found that the best method is to begin by having casual conversations about topics that the student is interested in. From there, I am able to assess the students' strengths and weaknesses. I then provide the students with assignments such as writing simple paragraphs about basic topics such as food, work, and their lifestyles. From here, we progress based on my further assessment, comments and tips. We shall then continue to practice having lengthier conversations as I incorporate quizzes into the study sessions to monitor the students' progress.
