About the lesson

My 1st lesson is an assessment of the students’ needs and setting achievable goals.
My teaching method is interactive, often visual, focusing on a theme per lesson with speaking, reading, writing, and listening included in each lesson.
However, building confidence in the student is key.
A typical Lesson Plan would begin with open discussion around a theme, for example, “Different professions”, followed by emphasizing an aspect grammatically, for example adjectives describing certain behavior or/and character.
The opposites of each adjective and matching them would be an exercise.
This will be followed by a passage to be read where the characters will need an appropriate adjective chosen to describe each character. This is a reading, listening and pronunciation exercise.
The student will then have to choose 3 adjectives to describe themselves and write 3 sentences using these adjectives.
The conclusion of the lesson will be a discussion about the reasons for choosing those adjectives.
I am a creative passionate tutor who constantly assesses my students’ progress and needs and adapts my lessons accordingly.
I have taught all levels of English proficiency from intermediate to advanced, individually, and in groups, including Business English in specific professions especially HR.
I do believe that having a sense of humor adds a fun element to each class.
