My lessons & teaching style

Methodologies deployed in my class are 📖 Direct method: For the direct method, all teaching is done in the target language, translations are not allowed in class, and the focus lies heavily on speaking instead of grammar. 📖 Task-/project-/inquiry-based learning method: This teaching strategy heavily emphasises the students’ and individuality. By asking questions and solving problems, with the teacher as a mere learning facilitator. 📖 Communicative language teaching method: CLT emphasises the students’ ability to communicate in real-life contexts, and students learn to make requests, accept offers, explain things, and express their feelings and preferences.

Chris is a good professional teacher. I Just had a first lesson with him and time went by very fast. Now I see what I need to improve to achieve my goal. I am going to book more lessons with Chris.
