Yo como profesor
Soy profesora profesional y enseño inglés en el Reino Unido desde 1990. En 2002 obtuve el título de profesora de inglés como lengua extranjera (TEFL) con fines profesionales y desde entonces he disfrutado mucho de este aspecto de mi trabajo. A menudo trabajo con estudiantes que tienen dificultades de lectoescritura y de lenguaje y, en este papel, mi enseñanza incluye todos los niveles de la lengua inglesa, desde la unidad más pequeña de sonido, el fonema, hasta textos completos. Mis clases y método de enseñanza
He cursado un máster en la enseñanza del inglés a estudiantes con necesidades adicionales y estoy capacitada para diseñar e impartir programas lingüísticos individualizados que se adapten a las necesidades e intereses de mis alumnos. Fomento el uso de los medios de comunicación en mi enseñanza, por ejemplo películas en inglés y programas de televisión, programas de radio, periódicos, libros y revistas. En el caso de los alumnos que aprenden por motivos profesionales, les animo a utilizar documentos, textos y medios profesionales relacionados con su ámbito profesional. Me he formado en coaching y counselling y reconozco el valor de estas habilidades para animar a mis alumnos cuando el aprendizaje se hace difícil y su motivación está en peligro.Certificados

Diane is a caring, thoughtful, and open-minded teacher. She has helped me improve my speaking skills by providing spot-on English idioms, correcting my misuse of verb tenses, and showing me how to speak more like a native. Highly recommended!
