Methodology

I base my classes firstly on the need for a good relationship between student and teacher. The more language a student produces, the faster their English will improve, so I work hard to make my lessons engaging and interesting to each individual student. I construct lesson plans and create content specific to the needs and interest of my students. Students often comment on the creativity and fun of my lesson plans.

I follow a Cambridge English methodology, by which new language is explored, clarified and practiced in both controlled and free exercises. An hour long lesson will always include a warm-up and revision exercise, a new piece of target language identified and clarified, controlled practice of the target language, and finally free practice and use of the target language to express the student's own ideas.

I have access to a wide range of textbooks and professional resources, including interactive textbooks designed specifically for online teaching.

I am always open to tailoring my lesson plans to meet a student's specific needs.
