I offer private English lessons for young and mature learners

My ESL teaching typically entails teaching English to a variety of age-range students, where I do not follow the traditional English teaching methods such as relying on textbooks and me being the master of knowledge. On the contrary, I guide my students towards the knowledge I expect them to acquire during the teaching process. For example, I use my body language like body movements, gestures, and facial expressions when it comes to teaching them how new words that require specific body movements work (i.e. jump, kick, catch, etc.). As far as preschool-aged students are concerned, I make sure to primarily involve them in games that will lead them to the gradual acquisition of knowledge, like treasure hunting, where I hide a series of flashcards that depict the lesson’s target vocabulary (numbers, colours, animals) in the classroom and ask them to find them and every time to tell me what each card shows, of course with my guidance. When it comes to older learners, I expose them to an immersion teaching in which they are taught everything in English and they are encouraged to express themselves in English with me having an interfering role when they face some difficulties in doing this. If I suspect that they are having trouble succeeding with the preceding action, I incorporate the contastive analysis process, where I point out the differences between their mother tongue and English, only where I find it appropriate. I am a huge proponent of adapting my teaching to the individual learning needs of each student.
