Thema von InteresseMusikWissenschaftGeschichte
Passionate about languages & cultures, I love exploring new places and interacting with people around the world. I like to regard myself as a well-balanced person, as I believe life is about finding the right proportion for everything. Having said that, I'm very much into arts, media, history, sports, geography, cuisine, fitness, social development, communities, and last but not least, pets! I believe keeping an open mind makes us enjoy life more substantially.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I like to be very practical and to always keep my students' interest high. I'm very receptive and comprehensive and I usually provide learners with the most suitable methodologies and contents. I've help hundreds of students prepare for their official English certification test. On the other hand, I prefer to allow students to develop their own language skills by stimulating their critical thinking and building up their confidence. Seeing students' progress is the best reward I can ever have!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are clear and intelligible. I usually start with a friendly small talk followed by a warm-up activity practicing a language component. I generally apply the input-output style, where we first work on a document comprehension (video, audio or text) and then we practice oral or written production. I prefer to work implicitly on pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, but when something needs to be clear, we will work directly on these linguistic components. I have built a highly competent resource bank so I am able to customize any type of lesson depending on student's needs.

John's a very easy going teacher and his knowledge of English definitely helps the lesson progress if you forget a word in the conversation. Gracias por la maravillosa lección, John :)
