My teaching methodology consists mostly in conversing with my students in English, plus reading and listening exercises. I prefer to involve students heavily in my lessons. That’s the foundation stone of my teaching. In my opinion, they should not just sit and write down my words–that’s not real teaching. On the contrary, we have to challenge them with questions, interesting exercises, and also give them some room to express their creativity and imagination. To my favorite teaching methods belong flipped classroom and learning by playing. Of course, one has to work with these concepts carefully, in order to maintain the discipline in the classroom. When you manage to do that, however, the results are often exceptional. I would summarize my teaching methodology in two words: individual approach. Since I work one on one with students, I can afford to adjust my teaching to the needs, goals, and personality of each student. And I really believe it is the only way to achieve the best possible results with your pupils, because what works with one student may not work with another one. What’s more, each child has their own pace of learning, and forcing something we will cause more harm than good. At least that’s the way I see it, and I also wonder what teaching methods you prefer here, at your school. Once we are clear about these things, we can set milestones and partial goals. Having such a precise plan and understanding each student, we simply progress from one step to another, using the most appropriate teaching methods. Of course, it happens sometimes that we have to alter our goals, or at least the time frame for achieving them. But that’s the part of the process and nothing to be worried about really.
