My teaching style is rooted in input-based methods, utilising sentence builders and lots of repetition to help students become conversational and work toward fluency. I create a positive, nurturing environment and tailor each lesson to keep students engaged and entertained. I take the time to understand each student's interests and incorporate them into our lessons, ensuring a personalised and enjoyable learning experience. Beyond language skills, I aim to enrich my students' understanding of the diverse, multilingual world we live in by introducing them to the various Francophone cultures. Below of some examples of topics that are covered at each level.

My name is Issaiyanee and Issai Teach is my very small company through I teach a languages (French, English and Mauritian Creole).
I have a passion for working with language and languages and love to share my enthusiasm for multilingualism with my students.
I have studied linguistics as an undergraduate and applied linguistics as a post graduate before completing my PGCE and qualifying as a foreign language teaching in the UK.
I have been teaching for about 4 years and tutoring for about 5, working with students improve their French and English. I taught in schools for two years before setting up my company to teach online. I currently work with platforms teaching classes for the UK curriculum, both group classes (up to 20) and 1:1. classes.
I enjoy making my students laugh in the lesson and making them feel comfortable and providing an enjoyable classroom environment. I use sentence builders to provide my students with as much support as they need throughout their learning journey and I tend to favour task based learning and lots of input. I give my students lots of models before asking them to produce any language.
I love to cook and play around with clay to create tiny plant pots. I have a tiny applehead chihuahua named Sanka.Reviews
