My lessons are interactive, structured, and designed to help students build both knowledge and confidence. I use a conversation-based approach because I believe learning happens best when students are actively involved, not just listening or memorising. I encourage students to ask questions, share ideas, and explain topics in their own words. This makes lessons dynamic, engaging, and carefully tailored to each student’s unique learning style and goals.

To introduce new material, I often use short explanations or mini-presentations. Once students understand the basics, I guide them to create their own short presentations. This method is highly effective because it forces active recall, deepens understanding, and helps students gain confidence in communicating their knowledge. If you can explain something clearly, you truly understand it, and it becomes much easier to remember long term.

I also encourage book reading and independent exploration outside of lessons. Books not only strengthen vocabulary and comprehension but also give students the tools to think critically, draw connections, and develop independent learning skills. Combined with guided discussions, this creates a strong foundation for both academic success and personal growth.

Each lesson typically begins with a quick recap of previous work, followed by step-by-step teaching of new content. We then practise through conversation, examples, and exercises before ending with a short review or summary presentation to reinforce everything learnt.

As a Business student at College, I bring fresh academic experience, adaptability, patience, and enthusiasm to every lesson. My goal is simple: to help students improve their academic performance while also enjoying the process of learning.
