You build the course
You are in the centre of my teaching. I get to know your language needs giving you a reliable initial test and chatting with you in a friendly way. I offer to work without a coursebook at the beginning of your course to assess your language skills.
You choose to work on the materials which suit you best
I introduce to you your main coursebook to which I continuously add self-made materials. I construct my classes around pictures and sounds to get across to you – you may be a visual, an auditory or any other type of a student. I offer my own materials based on current affairs and any media subject which you may be interested in. I develop materials based on the region where you live to get to know the place in the foreign language and to boost your vocabulary.
You learn how to learn
I care about your learning strategies. I am here to help you be systematic in your learning process and always repeat the previously introduced material. Your language progress is very important here. I give you useful language links and you learn at home, at the beach, or when taking a walk. I talk to you about your language progress preparing your individual feedback on the four language skills, i.e. reading, writing, listening and speaking. I give you a lot of phonetic practice for you to tell the difference between sounds and to care about your pronunciation.
You learn to communicate effectively
Needless to say, I adhere to the European Framework for Language Assessment (language proficiency levels from A1 to C2) and follow the communicative approach in my teaching, where I simultaneously pay attention to your grammar use and sentence construction. In this way you boost your language confidence. I offer individual work, pair work or group work so that you can see which of them suits you best.
We learn from each other
You learn from me and I learn from you – I stress such activities where we talk about each other, about our lives, and about our surroundings. In this way we learn the language which is ours because this is the way we express ourselves and our world.
