I like to teach students based on the exam board they’re taking at school, doing a trial session to see their strengths no weaknesses, and then based on that, I can create individual lessons to target and improve their weaknesses, e.g. listening, verb conjugation, pronunciation…
If you’re a beginner, then we start by learning the basics, like verb endings and simple vocabulary.
When the lesson is face to face, we can work on practise books and practise tests, depending on their needs, or I can create an individual lesson in the form of a presentation. I think speaking practise is the most efficient way of learning so it will be a part of every lesson. In an online lesson, we’d work on a live document together so that I can check through the writing and make notes.
I’ve taught younger students privately before, and was a teaching assistant for a short time. I have experience with multiple languages and I was an interpreter whilst I was in secondary and college.
