Hi! My name is Darius M. I am from Chicago, IL, USA. I have been teaching English for over 7 years now in various locations. My role as an English teacher has helped me teach in China, the USA, Spain, and most recently Taiwan. I believe that teaching both age groups helps me stay balanced and learn new ways of communicating and teaching individuals. I have a wide variety of interests from theatre to plants, that I would love to discuss with you!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been able to efficiently interact and work with many students of various ages and differing levels of using English. My goal is to make the learning environment I create one in which the learner is comfortable and confident. I believe that students can develop fluency at a better rate with having better confidence. I want to be able to provide my learners with tools that would best aid them in their daily lives and futures. This means providing useful vocabulary, bettering pronunciation, or learning phrases that fit daily situations.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons depend on what your personal goals are. I do think it is important to establish a type of routine in using new information in order to become better at using them. Of course we are all busy folks, so there is no pressure to do homework--unless that is what you want. I also like to review our previous lesson so that we can keep those words or information relevant and fresh. Again, my motto is: Fluency through confidence. I hope to help you in being more confident in expressing yourself in English. See ya soon!
Always deep conversations. He is really skillful at asking questions. I mean I almost always have to struggling with how to answer his questions, because I need to use more complicated constructions expressing my ideas than those of my daily use of English, and also beacause I have never expressed my thoughts concerning his questions even in my native language. At those exact moment, I AM extremely stressed ( you know why!), but when I succeed in defeating the challenges, I feel definitely confident about myself! I don't know whether he does it intentionally or not. But this is not a big deal. He provides us with good opportunities to challenge our new fields. Thanks, Darius!
