Teaching Methodology

I believe that the fastest and most successful way to learn a language is through tailored, goal oriented and application/sector specific face-to-face tuition. 

My approach to language training promotes proactive participation by the students through placing emphasis on the ability to communicate using the following basic principles:

• The tuition is learner-centered and encourages natural and confident verbal interaction between the student and myself.
• I tailor tuition to specific language needs, emphasizing the use of language in particular business, professional and social situations.
• The lesson emphasis is on progression of real time effective communication with supportive interventions as required.
• Grammar is taught or corrected as it naturally occurs within conversation.
• I believe tuition is most effective when delivered in a way that maximizes relevance, real context, is lively and engaging, utilizing role-plays, vocabulary exercises, dialogue-building, conversation and discussions.
