I'm a TEFL-certified teacher with +6 years' experience, specializing in daily conversations and business English.
Bio:
I create a comfortable learning environment where students can build their confidence and use English more freely in their dialy lives or in the workplace. I get students to interact and communicate as much as possible, but also correct them on grammar mistakes, vocabulary, pronunciation and sentence structure. I focus on daily conversations, but also specialize in business English, as I have worked as a financial manager for 16 years in several international companies.
My teaching methodology:
*I love to interact with my students, making them feel comfortable and confident in expressing themselves, creating an engaging and productive experience for both the student and the teacher. *I have loads of materials available on all aspects of English, whether it is grammar, phrasal verbs, idioms, business English related topics, etc. which I am happy to share with my students. *I recently started a YouTube channel where I share information on various asspects of English, mostly related to real-life examples that I experienced during the lessons. *I will adapt my teaching style to the specific needs of each individual student, as well as prepare any lesson material that a student might request.
