Hey there!
Firts of all, I believe that learning a language is much more than just memorizing vocabulary and mastering grammar.
As an EFL teacher, and also as a traveller (I have been living abroad for 4 years now), I always encourage my students to become intelligible, i.e.: to be able to make themselves understood beyond any pronunciation, spelling or grammar mistakes, and to have fun while learning from their mistakes. And that is why I prepare my lessons focusing on a communicative approach. I use material that is relevant to the students' likes and interests, and I try to keep myself updated on the new methods and materials that come up.
The dynamics of my lessons are based mainly on a holistic approach in which we practise a bit of everything (reading, listening, use of the language, and writing) but communication is the goal.
Of course sometimes I come accross students who would like to focus more on one of the skills so we pay much more attention to that and I plan lessons according to their goals and needs.
I consider myself a very empathetic person, so I like to deliver relaxed, friendly and fun lessons where students want to come back and make the process of acquiring a language a good experience for them.
I have been working with people all ages from kindergarten to adults in a company, so I believe I gained experienced with all kind of students which let me prepare engaging and motivating lessons.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you feel interested in my lessons.
And let's start the journey together!
