English teacher for young children - online or in person starting in November

Hi there, my name is Lily MacGregor and I am originally from Toronto, Canada but have lived in the United Kingdom for the past six years. I am fluent in English. I moved to Germany a year ago and have been studying German. I am not fluent yet but I have very good general knowledge and understanding of it. I am a professional dancer and dance/yoga teacher with degrees in both. I am currently working as a dance teacher for very young children. I am very interested in teaching English to children and would love the opportunity to teach your young person! I am also very passionate about finding alternative ways to teach children who might need to learn in a different way than the regular school system can provide.

My main focus of my lessons would be about communication and learning every day phrases and vocabulary which will allow the student to have conversations and make sure they are understood. I think it is so important to learn these skills alongside the spelling and grammar instead of only focusing on those. One of the hardest aspects of learning a language is building up the confidence to speak it. I want to create a safe and open environment in my lessons that encourage the students to try speaking even if it is not correct at first. Through songs and poems, games and exercises I can teach your child all of these skills and build up their confidence to speak in English.
