English for foreigners and General English Communication Skills

Hello, I am Dr. Silverine de Silva and I am from Sri Lanka.
I have a PhD in Mass Communications and experience of over 45 years in teaching English to Foreigners, Teaching English as a Second Language, Business Communications Skills, The Four Integrated Skills of Communication - Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and IELTS.
My classes are fun filled and I do not just stop and teaching English, but extend them to general knowledge, ethics, and etiquette, but at the end of the day, I ensure that the students receive the knowledge of the language they are looking for and not go empty handed.
I prefer to deal with adult students and combine these lessons with Report Writing and Presentation Skills, Writing Resumes, facing Interviews and related lessons.
I do emphasize on proper and correct pronunciation (the study of phonetics is important), articulation, intonation, adding a variety of poetry and prose.
Impromptu reading and conversation based on students' interests and current affairs are certainly included in these lessons.
I can assure that none of my students have found reason to be unhappy with my teaching methods. I can bring myself to the level of the student's understanding and gradually rise with them, giving them the confidence that they can make it and will succeed in learning English, thus achieving their goals.
I do not cut the student off immediately they feel they have completed the course with me but offer my help and support and willingly assist them in every way I can.
So, if you are looking for a teacher who can turn to be a trusted friend (I am a very good listener and counsellor - my experience as an Assistant Director of Student Affairs will vouch for this), do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you
Dr. Silverine de Silva
