English is tough. It really is. I came here knowing nothing, but throughout school I did better in English classes than people who grew up with English as their first language. That background helps a lot more than people realise, especially when teaching

I always tailor lessons to the students' situation. I need to first understand them, who they are, their interests. Then, having used these to form a comfortable, supportive, and trustworthy environment, I can then employ situational scenarios and specific examples to essentially excavate their minds more easily, and help retain information a lot better.
