If I were to describe my lessons to potential students, I would highlight my teaching style as interactive and engaging, aiming to create a positive learning atmosphere. I believe in eliciting meaning of phrases and words from students. Here's a detailed look at how I typically organise lessons
Lesson Structure:
- Warm-Up and Introduction: Each session starts with a quick warm-up, whether through a casual conversation or a review of previously covered material, to ease students into the lesson.
- Main Lesson Content: This section involves introducing new language elements like grammar, vocabulary, or specific skill development (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). The content is carefully tailored to the student's needs.
- Active Practice: After presenting new concepts, students engage in practical exercises like role-plays, discussions, or group activities. The goal is to make sure students apply the material in a dynamic way.
- Constructive Feedback: I provide helpful feedback throughout the lesson, focusing on areas such as grammar, pronunciation, and sentence structure, in a way that encourages learning without causing frustration.
- Recap and Homework: To end the session, we review the key points, and I usually assign short homework tasks to reinforce the material covered in class.
Lesson Content and Approach:
- Customised to the Student: I adjust my lessons according to the individual student's level, goals, and preferred learning style. Whether it's business English, IELTS preparation, or conversational skills, the lessons are flexible.
- Balanced Skill Development: Lessons cover all language skills but can be adjusted to focus more on specific areas like speaking or writing. Pronunciation and vocabulary building are always emphasized.
- Practical Scenarios: I often use real-world materials such as articles, videos, or conversations, ensuring that students learn language in context, making the lessons more engaging and useful.
- Fun and Engaging: Learning should be enjoyable, so I incorporate fun activities like games, quizzes, and multimedia resources to keep the atmosphere lively.
Experience and Expertise:

Having studied at Queen Mary University London, I have a deep understanding of both academic and conversational English. My lessons are designed to meet the needs of all levels, from beginners to advanced students.
Students can expect a supportive and interactive environment that focuses on building confidence and practical language skills.
