I always aim to make my lessons fun and interactive, using a mix of materials that will inspire. I will, as much as possible, let the student do the talking. After all, this is about guiding you, it's not about me! I like to mix up the subjects and bring everyday life into the role-plays and conversations we'd have. I believe other forms such as tv, books, magazines and so on are great sources to use during lessons.

Lessons will follow a set pattern, that will include introducing the subject, building vocabulary, and applying the vocabulary to given scenarios. There will be extension activities to help with other areas such as fluency, spelling etc. That would depend on the individual's needs. Lessons can be tailored to suit.

I come with over 20 years of teaching experience in many different teaching areas, from adults to young children. I treat everyone with respect and always look to ensure that we learn together, but also enjoy the sessions.
