I would describe my teaching style as coaching. Instead of offering answers to my students, I try to ask the right questions, and with the help of demonstration and group activities they should find the answers.
In my opinion, the young generation lacks critical thinking and creativity. I try to help them develop these abilities, and that’s exactly why I prefer coaching to lecturing, the prevalent teaching style for this grade level.
I just try to prepare my students better for the challenges they will face in the employment market.
Since I typically work with students one on one, I always try to clearly define the goals with each one. Not what I want to achieve, but what they want to achieve, what they expect from our cooperation. Then, considering their current level of language skills, and what kind of personality they are, I come up with a clear plan for the entire year, including some milestones and tests.
I’ve been working as an english teacher for 7 years . In my experience, nothing works better than empowering your people. You know, throw them into the water, give them responsibility, let them find the answers, let them fail so they can learn and grow on both personal and professional level.
