I have taught all ages from very young children to adults in my 12 years of experience as a teacher. I taught general and business when I worked overseas in Spain, Italy and France. I even taught Art with English to very young learners in Paris.
Then, I returned to the UK to teach English for Academic Purposes at 2 Glasgow universities and GlasgowSchool of Art. Completion of these courses enabled students to progress to undergraduate and graduate courses in their chosen subjects.
One of the most important aspects of my teaching is to enable my students to feel confident when using English - good communication is the goal, not perfection.
I also believe that learning should be fun, so I like to include games in my lessons, e.g. with grammar or even academic language to make an enjoyable and informative learning environment. Plus, I find PowerPoint presentations to be a very effective and clear way of teaching - using them in lessons and giving students copies to use after class for homework and revision.
Each of my lessons are planned, but I will quickly adapt or change a lesson if something arises and a different focus is needed.
Finally, I encourage questions at all times because I never want a student to be confused or unclear about anything during or after one of my lessons.
