I have three years experience teaching English privately to students of various ages within the community. My style of teaching is to use the TPR method which is the total response method. This involves engaging a student by using fun items such as books and props to teach a lesson. I find this method allow the student to learn and understand more easily but also allows the student to feel comfortable to engage and participate. This promotes confidence.

Having spent time with students within the community, I have noted that learners are individuals and each have their own specific educational needs and therefore require individual programmes to reach their full potential. This cannot always be achieved in a classroom with large numbers of learners. Therefore I find that teaching an individual with specific attention to their needs more helpful. I get to know the student and develop a programme best suited to their individual needs. Lessons can be repeated to reinforce and recall work done thus facilitating learners reaching their goals. This ultimately keeps the learner motivated, confident and eager to reach their full potential.

I am very adaptable and endeavour to accommodate the needs of my student. As my student and I are a team I will, if need be, tailor make lessons to what works well for them. I am passionate about helping students and love teaching English.

I am kind, patient, a good listener and well organised. This allows me to do what is best for you.
