In my lessons, I focus on tailoring the content to meet the unique needs and goals of each student. With years of experience teaching all types of learners—from beginners to advanced, and those with specific objectives like exam preparation, improving conversational skills, or enhancing grammar—I have developed a flexible approach to teaching. I like to keep my lessons dynamic and interactive, using a mix of speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities to engage students. Whether you prefer structured lessons or a more relaxed conversational style, I can adapt my teaching to suit your learning style and personal objectives.

When teaching a tricky grammar rule in English, I start by breaking it down into manageable steps to ensure you fully understand each component before moving forward. First, I explain the rule in simple terms, using clear examples that are relevant to everyday language. I highlight the key elements of the rule and contrast it with any similar structures, pointing out common mistakes to avoid.

Next, I guide you through practical examples, showing how the rule works in real-life sentences. I encourage you to ask questions and practise using the rule in different contexts. Depending on your learning style, I may use visual aids like charts or diagrams to further simplify the concept.

Once you grasp the basics, I introduce more complex sentences to challenge your understanding and encourage deeper learning. By gradually building from simple to more advanced usage, I help you feel more confident and comfortable with grammar, showing them that it doesn't have to be as difficult as you thought!
