Teaching Approach
I love teaching languages and always try and make lessons fun. Lessons are tailored to my students' needs and personality (how they learn, what they like, what they are interested in, hobbies, etc.). I always use fun games and activities as well as practical objects (that I usually home-make) in an effort to involve their 5 senses and always try to include cultural explanations, in order to enrich the student's learning experience and keep him/her involved and focused. I even include cooking, songs, small tasks, and so on and always use videos and the Internet in general as a valuable resource.
Teaching Place(s)
Online (Skype) or at my home (evening hours)
