Tanya Allred

Throughout the years that I worked in Turkey I came to the realisation that students were often pretty good at 'text book' English but lacked the confidence when it came to actually speaking English. I would always advise my students, that were of all ages, that it is always ok to make a mistake... as that is the way we all learn. I have taught from text books for many years but I am also a great believer in 'practical learning' using forms of 'situational learning' which places emphasis on relationships and interactions in order to build better understanding.

Gaining confidence with strengthening communication skills with practical English creates happier students too.
