My lessons will be largely centred on daily conversation practice through role play, e.g ordering in a cafe, going shopping, meeting friends ect. I will also help with reading and exam preparation and would really like to be able to help others gain confidence in English and assist them to enjoy learning it!

I have close friends who are learning English and want to be able to speak more fluently. I love teaching them new phrases and expressions in English and seeing my friends use them in real life scenarios. I understand that English like any language is difficult and takes time to get used to however, I want to be able to make learning English a lot easier and more fun!

Students could for example talk about a specific topic they really like such as music, movies or sports for example. This will help them to directly engage with speaking practice and gradually increase their confidence in expression. As for reading, this is a really important aspect for learning any language! In English in particular, students can for example try reading little by little every day, even if it is just something on the news they saw, a book they are currently reading ect.

I have also learnt through my own language studies in Japanese that shadowing is a really important method. It involves a text or audio recording of a native speaker talking about any topic such as music and the listener has to “chase” their voice by repeating what is said out loud at the same time as or at the end of each sentence.
