YOU ARE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS.
✔️ I am patient, friendly, and understanding
✔️ I am an introvert so I understand if you feel nervous or shy
✔️ My classroom is always a safe space for you to learn and be yourself.My lessons & teaching style
✔️ student-centered as I believe that the learner's input (culture, ideas, personality, background knowledge) are integral parts of his/her learning progress.
✔️ based on the student's needs and areas for improvement so that learning is always relevant and intentional.
✔️I am educated on teaching both basic English skills such as Phonics, Grammar, Spelling, Vocabulary, Pronunciation, and higher-level ones such as Conversational English and Public Speaking.
✔️ There will be a significant amount of student talking time (STT) to allow the students to practice using the language. 80% STT and 20% teacher talking time.My teaching material

If there's a way to do it any better, I can't seem to be able to think of it)
My 8 y.o. have taken a bunch of various online lessons through different platforms - and this is the first time ever that she hopefully asked me "Are we gonna do it again?" So there you go)
Thank you!

My daughter really enjoyed the class. Teacher Mika is so thoughtful and friendly. She also kept encouraging my daughter, so she was able to muster her courage up and talk to her. It was a really good class. :)

Mika is very nice teacher. I was able to talk a lot due to her guide and support. Before start our lesson, she confirmed my purpose to learn English and my request, so her lesson was very smooth. I'd like to take her lesson soon again :)
