My methodology is very engaging between the teacher and the student, as I make sure that it’s interactive and fun. They are very personalized classes, which I plan based on your preferred learning method, strengths, weaknesses, and focusing on areas where most support is needed. Depending on what my student needs help with, I build a plan that will strengthen those not such strong points so that they will feel confident when it's their time to engage with interaction with the language. Not only do I teach my students formal English, but also everyday and more niche sayings, references, and basics so that they are more involved in English culture besides just being able to speak the language. Speaking a language goes far beyond just talking but also understanding the way people talks and why things occur in such way. Learning a language should not be a task but something fun to engage to allow yourself to grow more and be able to engage in new areas and activities. My goal is for my students to feel confident in their skills and to always continue growing. I have experience mainly with young children learning English as a second language, and young adults who want to strengthen their ability to speak English and engage in environments where they need to be able to express themselves fully in another language and still be able to feel true to themselves and confident in the way they express themselves with others around them in new environments.
