My teaching method is flexible, there are many ways to present teaching to students. Some learn hands on, visually, by listening, game based, student centered discussions and making connections just to name a few. I present lessons according to how the students learn best. I present my teaching in a fun, enjoyable way that makes the students want to learn more. I make my own resources like puzzles, matching vocabulary cards, bingo games with the English language, scrabble etc. At the end of the course my students speak and write closely like native english speakers do.
I studied in University Canterbury, New Zealand where I got a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Post Graduate in Teaching English as a second language. I've been teaching for the past 25 years. working in 6 different well established International schools in 6 countries. The different cultures have taught me how students feel when they are trying to learn English. I am a better teacher for these experiences.
It is 50 an hour if students come to my place and 70 if I go to the student's house to cover travelling time and petrol. (negotiable)
If Tutor or student cancels the lesson, there will be no charge, student doesn't have to pay if there is no class.
