Teacher’s pick
I’ve taken several sessions with Nadine and here are what I appreciate about her:
- Experienced and skilled: expertise in linguistics, a repertoire of pedagogical techniques
- Creative: new teaching materials developed for individual learning needs and interests
- Encouraging and supportive: recognises learner’s strengths, fortifies confidence in learning, accommodates learner’s requests where possible to facilitate their learning
- Sensitive and thoughtful: acute observation of and sensitivity to learner’s needs, interests, and areas for improvement
- Self-reflective and adaptive: responsive to feedback, has self-awareness, effectively adapts content and style when needed
- Curious, growth-centric: willing to experiment new pedagogical techniques and fields of knowledge, is a lifelong learner of languages
These are the aspects of Nadine that I’ve experienced as an ambitious, autonomous learner. I’m sure she exhibits other qualities when working with other types of learners as well.
