Jessica O’Kelly

As a recently qualified TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teacher with a background in political science and government, I bring a unique perspective and a passion for effective language instruction. Here's what you can expect from my lessons:

Lesson Format:
My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive. I use a student-centered approach, which means that you will have ample opportunities to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English. The typical lesson format may include:

1. Introduction: We'll start with a warm-up activity or question to get you comfortable with English right from the beginning.

2. Content Presentation: I'll introduce a language concept or topic for the day, often incorporating real-world examples or issues related to political science and government to make the content relevant to your background and interests.

3. Practice and Activities: We'll engage in a variety of activities, such as role-plays, debates, discussions, reading comprehension exercises, and grammar practice. These activities will help reinforce the language skills we're focusing on.

4.Feedback and Corrections: I provide constructive feedback and corrections to help you improve your language skills. I'll also encourage you to ask questions and seek clarification on any aspect of the lesson.

5.Homework and Assignments: I may assign homework or additional exercises to reinforce what you've learned in class. These assignments will be tailored to your language level and individual needs.

Content and Dynamics:
Given your background in political science and government, I'll incorporate topics related to your field into our lessons whenever relevant. We can discuss current events, analyze political speeches or documents, or engage in debates about global issues. This can make the language learning process more engaging and personally meaningful for you.

I understand that every student is unique, and I will tailor lessons to your specific goals, needs, and proficiency level. Whether you're looking to improve your conversational skills, prepare for an exam, or enhance your academic English, I'm here to support you.

Experience:
While I am recently qualified as a TEFL teacher, my background in political science and government provides a solid foundation for discussing complex issues in English. I'm dedicated to continuous professional development, and I will use the latest teaching methods and resources to create an effective learning experience for you. My goal is to help you gain confidence and proficiency in English while also fostering your interest in political and governmental topics.

I am excited to embark on this English language learning journey with you. Together, we'll work towards your language learning goals, and I'll do my best to make our lessons enjoyable, relevant, and productive. If you have any specific preferences or topics you'd like to explore, feel free to share them, and I'll incorporate them into our lessons.
