I have a native level of English. My aim is to help student's build their confidence when speaking English as a foreign language

Advert description
I have been studying in the UK for the past five years. I completed my GCSEs, and A-Levels and am currently studying a 'Teaching English as a Foreign Language Level 5 TEFL' Course.

I want to provide students with personalized lessons, where the lesson structures are planned out according to their academic needs, personal interests, life plans, and reasons for learning English Language.

I am always open to teaching 1-1 with individuals and also in paired/group classes.
According to the class form, different lesson approaches are applicable, and as a teacher, I always ensure all activities are useful, interesting, and fun for my tutees.

Independent of your level of English, our sessions are a safe environment for you to be yourself whilst learning and practicing receptive and productive language skills.

Together, we will work towards the following elements:
- Language pronunciation that makes you easy to understand.
- The correct use of grammar rules when speaking and writing.
- Appropriate use of vocabulary.
- Wide vocabulary knowledge.
The features mentioned above are what make an individual know a foreign language well.

Another important factor in our classes is the introduction of paralinguistic features which aid in the enhancement of your cultural knowledge as an English Speaker.
Those are key as people often argue that being aware of the cultural context of the country in which the language is being spoken is essential to becoming a good speaker.

I am super excited to meet all different types of people, open to learning about different cultures, and cannot wait to get to know all of you during our teaching sessions!

The lesson formats I utilize can vary from lesson to lesson. They are affected by the structure of the class and also the student's reason for learning English.
Applicable in 1-1 sessions, I aim to create individualistic approaches for each student to ensure they are gaining the most out of our interactions. For example, if a student wants to apply their English language skills within the workplace, we will concentrate on formal verbal communication and work-related terminology. On the other hand, if a student wants to learn English to go traveling, we can work on knowledge that focuses on day-to-day, formal language practice.
This approach can be used within paired or group sessions, however, the criteria will be more generalized to suit all students combined.

My classes start with a warm-up task (Warmer), to introduce the lesson's topic. Then we immerse ourselves in the Body of the lesson, where most teaching and learning occurs. Finally, we reach the final stage where we review what has been learned (Plenary). This is based on the W.B.P. procedure: Warmer, Body, Plenary.

Each stage is carried out using different activities such as Q&As, class discussions, word gaps, and creative writing, for example.

Approaches such as P.P.P. (Present, Practice, Produce), T.T.T. (Test, Teach, Test), and E.S.A. (Engage, Study, Activate) are teaching structures I apply mostly during the Body of the lesson. These are utilized depending on the class format, an example is the E.S.A. approach being more suitable for 1-1 sessions due to allowing a more personalized teaching method.
