Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that every student has unique strengths and learning styles. By incorporating student-led learning into my lessons, I empower students to actively participate and take charge of their educational journey. I foster a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages open communication, respect, and mutual learning. I also integrate real-life scenarios, role-plays, and interactive activities to make lessons relevant, practical, and enjoyable.
My background in psychology and counseling allows me to understand and address the individual needs and challenges students may face during their language learning process. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing space where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and overcoming any barriers they encounter.
