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.
