My focus is:
ESL, EAL, EFL (English as a Second Language) and Linguistics.
English Language ( Literature, Grammar, Creative writing).
English Literature ( Poetry, Shakespeare, Post 1914 Prose, 19th-century prose, Text analysis, Literature tecnhiques, etc)
I am TEFL / TESOL trained. I currently practice and I am constantly expanding my love for languages like, Cantonese, Spanish, Portuguese and more.
My students mainly come from the UK, USA, Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and Turkey. My courses help students at all levels including Primary School, Secondary School, Sixth Form and University. I also help Mature Learners who are just curious to learn and grow. I hope you will enjoy my lessons as much as I love making them.
My experiences are as a student and a teacher of Language & Linguistics for adults and children alike, my students inspire and drive me forward. My classes nurture passion and motivate the love of words and language.
The lessons are planned around a non-native English speaker, focusing on learning the language as well as natural acquisition.
How will you teach?
My teaching style is dynamic and engaging. The class will be interactive and supportive of all needs. Students will all get the opportunity to participate and complete their own tasks. The class will include a range of teaching methods including questions and answers; individual, paired and group activities; games and songs.
What's your teaching style?
I am an experienced teacher who is calm, patient and supportive whilst ensuring that the children are constantly learning. The environment will be energetic, passionate and learners will actively participate throughout the class. As an experienced teacher, I am capable of adapting my style to suit the learners needs.
How much will learners get to interact with you and each other?
Students will be active participants throughout each class.Student talk time is expected to be significantly higher than teacher talk time.
What is the phonics approach in ESL, ELA or EFL?
Phonics is an approach to teaching reading and writing that involves teaching students the association between sounds and the letters that represent them. My Phonics classes are DfE validated full systematic, synthetic phonics program, a way of teaching the building blocks of the English language. The scheme builds and develops the skills and understanding children need to become effective, independent readers and writers. An extensive library of fully-decodable, diverse & dynamic books are also part of the curriculum. It is designed for native or non-native English speakers.
How is literature used in second language teaching?
Literature can make the teaching of a language more fun. It introduces different parts of grammar and sentences in an interactive way. We can talk about interesting topics, encourage students to express their points of view and introduce in depth and current topics.Reviews
