My teaching background:
I have been teaching English for 12 years, working with a diverse range of students from various backgrounds and proficiency levels. My experience includes teaching young learners, high school and university students, business professionals, and adult learners. I've designed and delivered courses tailored to specific needs, such as academic English, business communication, exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, etc), and conversational fluency. Incorporating technology into my teaching, I utilize various digital tools and online resources to create interactive and engaging lessons that cater to different learning styles. My goal has been to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment where students feel motivated and confident in their language abilities. This perspective and breadth of experience has equipped me with the ability to adapt my teaching methods to suit the specific needs and learning styles of each student.
My background outside of teaching:
Aside from teaching languages, my background encompasses several aspects that can benefit students in choosing the right teacher for their needs. Firstly, I have a strong foundation in educational psychology, which allows me to understand and cater to individual learning styles and preferences. Furthermore, I have a deep understanding of cross-cultural communication, having lived and worked in diverse cultural environments. This experience enables me to appreciate and respect cultural differences, making my teaching approach inclusive and culturally sensitive. It also allows me to provide valuable insights into cultural nuances and communication strategies, which are essential for effective language learning and cross-cultural interactions. Additionally, my ongoing pursuit of learning French gives me firsthand insight into language acquisition challenges, allowing me to empathize with and better support my students.
