I combine conversation with grammar, examples and listening as homework. I try my best to not focus only in one competence, specially because the world nowadays is so fast-paced and we normally don't have much time to learn as we would like to have.

I combine conversation with grammar, examples and listening as homework. I try my best to not focus only in one competence, specially because the world nowadays is so fast-paced and we normally don't have much time to learn as we would like to have.
The methodology is according to the student needs, as that being work, travel or studies.
If the student wants to focus more in conversation skills, then it will be focused 100% on that. And if the need is another aspect, we will work on that, as well.
I like to say that the student is the boss and is free to ask how he/she wants the class to be.
I can talk about any topic, I can teach any grammar and develop the best way to improve language skills.
I try my best to make the student feel comfortable in making mistakes, and I don't like to correct rudely. I love to listen my students speak, sing and see the evolution breaking the barrier of a new language.
I've been a teacher since I was 18 years old, so now I completed 12 years experience combined working in institutions and private classes, and by experience I know private classes work better for individuals with certain urgency to improve English. Although it's fun to have a full class, being able to focus on individually difficulties makes the job even more pleasure to take a level A1 to a C1-C2 student. It's a great feeling of proud and "job done successfully".
