I am energetic, well organized and punctual. I am sociable and I enjoy meeting different people. Having lived abroad for long periods of time, I can adapt easily to a new environment. I am committed, responsible and I am always available to students, even when class is over. I am patient and don’t mind repeating the same thing until students have truly mastered it. Moreover, I offer motivation through encouragement and reward.
Over 10 years teaching experience in all levels, from kindergarden to University.
As to my teaching methods, I strongly believe in team work and team projects, as a fun and easy way to learn which makes students active during class. I also try to give students the opportunity to assess each other, as well as to locate and correct their own mistakes. Furthermore, I try to set small-term, easily attained goals along with the long-term goals to give students a sense of accomplishment. Finally, I emphasize in developing oral skills, which are the hardest to acquire.
First, we can have a meeting/conversation to determine the student's needs.
The class is divided into different sections, grammar, reading, listening and speaking so it is easy to locate the student's needs and strenghten his weaknesses.
