A CELTA-Certified Classroom: Where Learning is Engaging and Effective
My classroom is a dynamic space fueled by a passion for language acquisition and a foundation in best practices. As a CELTA-qualified teacher with experience teaching a variety of levels, I create a student-centered environment that fosters active participation and celebrates individuality. Here's a closer look at what you can expect:

Teaching Methods:

Variety is Key: I believe in employing a diverse range of teaching methods to cater to different learning styles. This includes communicative activities like role-plays and discussions, task-based learning projects, and technology integration for interactive exercises.
Scaffolding Your Learning: I provide clear explanations and structure lessons with a logical progression, building upon prior knowledge to ensure comprehension. This scaffolding approach empowers you to grasp complex concepts gradually.
Learner-Centered Focus: Your needs and goals are the driving force. I encourage active participation through open discussions, student-led presentations, and opportunities for error correction in a supportive environment.
Content:

Tailored Curriculum: The content is carefully chosen based on your needs assessment. We may focus on general English, business English, or exam preparation, depending on your goals. I also incorporate current events, interesting articles, and authentic materials to make the learning experience relevant and engaging.
Focus on All Skills: All four language skills – speaking, listening, reading, and writing – are addressed throughout the course. This ensures a well-rounded approach that equips you to communicate effectively in various contexts.
Master's Thesis Integration: Drawing from my ongoing Master's research in English Language Teaching, I incorporate innovative and research-backed teaching methods, ensuring your learning experience reflects the latest advancements in the field.
Teaching Dynamics:

Positive and Supportive Environment: I foster a classroom environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and actively participating. My enthusiasm for language learning translates into a positive and encouraging atmosphere.
Error Correction as Learning: Mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth. I provide constructive feedback in a non-judgmental way, helping you identify areas for improvement and learn from your experiences.
Interactive and Engaging: Lectures are kept to a minimum, replaced by dynamic activities that promote interaction, collaboration, and student engagement. Learning is about having fun and feeling a sense of accomplishment.
My Teaching Experience:

While my CELTA qualification provides a strong foundation, my experience teaching various levels has further honed my skills. I can adapt my teaching style to suit the needs of diverse learners, ensuring everyone progresses at their own pace. I am passionate about witnessing my students gain confidence and fluency, making their learning journey a rewarding experience for both of us.

By combining a variety of teaching methods, relevant content, and a dynamic classroom environment, I strive to make your English language learning journey not only productive but also enjoyable.
