The lessons I teach follow the Cambridge model of ESL. Building up skills in each class with particular focus on what the student finds most urgent. Building blocks in language are the key to learning effectively. Therefore, my lessons follow a gradual and consistent pattern of repetition as well as progression which show incredible results.

All students, regardless of their level, will have different needs, strengths and weaknesses. For this reason, I make sure that all my lessons are tailored to the student and their abilities, whilst always pushing them to go a step further than what they thought themselves capable. It's amazing how far you get when you have the right encouragement!

As a student myself I am aware of how dreadful language classes can be and so I always try to go the extra mile and make the lessons I teach the interesting and fun for each person. Even grammar can be enjoyable if you're challenged with games!

I am very passionate about teaching and take the greatest pleasure from seeing my students achieve their learning goals and reach the full extent of their abilities, so I pay close attention to their passions and what drives them to later incorporate this in the lessons as much as is possible.
