My roll when teaching students is first of all to make them comfortable, and establishing their current needs, such as improving their overall vocabulary, or business English, dependant on their needs. I believe that being patient and diligent is the key in being very productive in class. I found myself in various situation where the students were reluctant to participate in classes, mainly because lack of interest or maybe they were too tired. I completely understand that both children and adults are under load, and pressure, therefore I do my best to gradually interest them in class material. It's proven to be quite effective and I still use the same method in my classes.
My previous companies were: 1) TutorABC (children)
) First Future (highschool children)
) Learnship (adults)
