My teaching method for conversational English is uniquely structured around real-life dialogue, making fluency the first priority. Rather than beginning with grammar rules, I start with natural conversation to build confidence and listening skills. As students grow more comfortable speaking, I gradually introduce grammar and spelling concepts within the context of their own words. This approach makes language learning feel intuitive and relevant, rather than abstract or intimidating. The result is a more organic, lasting command of English that mirrors how we learn our first language—by using it.
