I like to talk to my students during the lessons, to figure out what they do, what they like and dislike and what they would like to know how to do in the target language - whether there are specific areas they'd like to focus on or if they simply want to be able to speak it at a conversational level for everyday stuff. Besides, in my 7 years of experience, no matter what kind of lesson I have planned, students always bring up interesting topics about things they've seen, read or heard in the language, which then ends up being a whole new discussion in the class. And a very welcome one as well, as students end up learning new words and a teacher can even use that as an opportunity to think of new activities or challenges for the students.

Since I have taught students from very different cultures and have lived and worked in different places around Europe, I have a pretty good idea of what difficulties students might have when learning a new language (and can relate as well!). I'll definitely take into account the students' objectives, which will be made clear in the first lesson, plan accordingly and include some fun stuff like games or videos to make it interesting!

Besides that, I also enjoy using role-playing activities in lessons. Role-playing real-world situations is one of the best ways to practice a language in my opinion, but the best part is the fun of it. And this is what I strive for: having fun in my classes. If it's fun for my students, it's fun for me. Plus, extra fun if our interests and hobbies match! If you like games, animes or football for instance, ask me anything!
