🍎 What's your teaching style?

My teaching style is student-centered, focusing on the individual needs and pace of each learner. Creating a supportive environment is key to building learner confidence. I achieve this by uplifting my students with positive praise, instilling resilience by highlighting errors as valuable learning moments and inspiring them to boldly tackle new and unfamiliar words. My adaptable approach means I am able to tailor methods and materials according to student progress and feedback in order to maximise their learning outcomes.
