我希望我们可以很快见面！Me as a Teacher
I have taught both children and adults in private classes and online. I have a TEFL certificate from UK Qualifications-accredited TEFL Acadamy.
I know that learning a language is frustrating, so I want to make it enjoyable and relaxing! I will help you learn real English! I will get to know you, find out your language learning style. Are you a visual, aural or kinesthetic learner? I will find out why you are learning English and based my lessons on those needs.My lessons & teaching style
I am practical, realistic, and easy going. We will use pictures, TV shows, interesting magazines, books and video, to help you know, understand, use and LOVE English!
I will create a lesson plan for you after I assess your language level, reasons for studying, and your goals.
I will give you this lesson plan and you may have to download some videos or reading material before our class, however, I can adapt all my methods to your abilities and circumstances.My teaching material
