I am a friendly, outgoing person with a great sense of humour. I worked for 25 years in the legal field as a paralegal. I gave up my career to study Creative Writing at Liverpool John Moores University, where I achieved a 1st Class Degree with Honours. While at university, I designed and ran Creative Writing workshops for third year students, where I also aspired to teach the English language. I went on to achieve TEFL qualifications at a pass rate of 99%. I have travelled many parts of the world including Asia, America, and Europe. I love to experience new cultures. I am passionate about teaching and want to help make a difference to peoples' lives. My other passion is creative writing.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a friendly, approachable, and empathic teacher. I am an excellent listener, speaker, reader, and writer. I assess my students' needs on an individual basis.
I am flexible in my teaching skills, and can work with students on all different levels, and with various needs incluidng IELTS exam preparation, pronunciation, conversation, writing, and reading.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have a nurturing/facilitator/psychological approach to teaching. I create a free and relaxed atmosphere that encourages my students to solve problems. As a teacher it is important: to be myself, openly express my thoughts and feelings; to show students full confidence in themselves and in their capabilities and abilities; to show empathy, that is, an understanding of the feelings and experiences of each of my students. This technique is used on a one-to-one basis because, I, as a teacher-facilitator need to interact with my students individually. My lessons are fun, informative, and educational.
