I have 2 years experience working one-on-one (privately) with students who are struggling with their English skills. I have tutored students who are native-speaking in English and students who do not know basic English at all. I am TEFL-certified which means I have a certificate in teaching English as a foreign language. My teaching methods are based on a communicative approach, which emphasizes the development of practical language skills that can be used in real-life situations. This approach emphasizes the use of authentic materials, such as videos, articles, and podcasts, to provide students with exposure to real-world language use and to build their comprehension and communication skills.
In my lessons, I also prioritize a student-centered approach, which means that I encourage my students to take an active role in their own learning. This includes setting goals, providing feedback, and participating in activities that are tailored to their interests and needs.
In addition to these methods, I also use a range of teaching techniques and materials to ensure that my lessons are varied and engaging. These may include:
Conversation practice Grammar drills and exercises Pronunciation practice Role-playing and simulations Vocabulary building exercises Reading and writing activities
Overall, my teaching methods are designed to help my students develop their language skills in a way that is engaging, effective, and fun. I am committed to helping each student achieve their language learning goals and to providing a supportive and positive learning environment.
