Use of PowerPoint and training exercises to deliver the class initially with the aim to become more interactive once student is more confident working with me. I initially will conduct a thorough understanding of the students competencies including in writing, speaking, listening and understanding. I will also use your own stated personal objectives to adapt my teaching style and depending on what you require the language for, it will be tailored to that requirement.

A typical class will look like 70% you 30% me as my philosophy is that the student has to be motivated to learn and to ensure my time and effort to present the information is respected. This is also the only way you can progress by taking ownership of the course and ensure you're getting the most out of it. All content will be bespoke and tailored to your skill level and adapted appropriately.

Student exercises will include: competency assessments, grammar exercises, listening and understanding, discussing news articles / films / books / series.

Every month I will earmark progress by asking the student how they feel they progressed and assessing each of their competencies so I can ensure we are progressing as fast as the student desires. We can then discuss with the student what the next objectives are and how we aim to achieve them. It's important to remember there are two of us in the equation and I will never allow my student to feel overwhelmed and the course is tailored to his or her own ability and desire. Learning a language can be stressful but with the right support, it is possible.

The ultimate objective is for the student to teach me something new and deliver a fantastic presentation to me on a topic of your choosing.
