If you choose reading I will bring a reading task that is your level and test your comprehension. 
If you choose writing I will set you a writing task and mark it in my own time. Then we can go through the answers together.

Conversation, Reading or Writing Class

To  get this Cambridge English language teaching certificate I had to pass a intensive month of assessments during which I learned various strategies to teach English as a foreign language.

In practice I was trusted from the start to organise and run classes for 10-20 pupils at a time on my own as well as supervise school trips. I received excellent feedback, quickly becoming “a respected and valuable member of the teaching team” (The School’s Head of English). While teaching at Puig Adam I developed my teaching skills, both as a teacher on my own and as an assistant supporting one of the schools English teachers.

At KSE I expanded my teaching ability. KSE gave me ample opportunity to do this, because we taught different classes every day, of quite different levels of English and usually from a variety of nationalities.

I taught a number of different age ranges from 6-year olds to 18-year olds. In addition, I worked at two high schools, The Taoyuan Municipal Wu-Ling Senior High School once a week for two hours and Taoyuan Municipal Yung-Feng High School once a week for four hours. My role here was as a supplementary spoken English teacher for which I was responsible for creating my own material.

In our trial lesson, we’ll focus on getting to know your goals and learning style. I’ll ask a few questions to understand your English background, the skills you want to improve, and the situations where you need English the most.

The goal of the trial is to make sure you feel comfortable with my teaching style and to confirm that we’re a good match.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance—just bring your questions, and I’ll guide the rest.

Improve your fluency in English through relaxed and friendly conversation with a native teacher. Lessons will not follow a curriculum or lesson plan. The focus will be on answering questions about the English language and anglophone culture, help with vocabulary and pronunciation, or any other topic that interests the student.
