My lessons are interactive and engaging to my learners, either a beginner or intermediate you're all welcome to learn.
My format will be easy to adapt to as we will begin with warm up activities to capture attention.
My content will be about teaching my learners on how to read, write and speak fluent English by using short stories as visual aids.
During my classes making mistakes will be safely embraced as part of the growth.
I'll be committed to personalized instructions where I'll be introducing new materials in a way you as a learner won't feel overwhelmed.
I have three years of experience with English teaching and my lessons focus on both practical and theory communication.
Join me to experience a classroom where learning English is both enjoyable and empowering.
For interviews, I would first ask questions which the student has learned in A levels, and expand beyond them, having discussions with the student. Sometimes, I may need to explain a topic first before continuing (as they often do in interviews). Rather than a lecture, I try to keep these a discussion, similar to how a tutorial at Oxbridge would go (which is what they aim to replicate in the interviews). For example, this can be me talking through a concept with the student, and then asking them for thoughts and theories, as well as questions which they can answer using that knowledge. I would also ask critical thinking questions, debate ethical cases, and work on general interview skills (such as how to use hand gestures and pauses). The interviews are not looking to test scientific knowledge, but the ability for the student to think critically and respond to information (in essence their ability to learn, and be a student), and that is what I focus on working on in interviews.
