Manuel is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher who brings great energy and creativity to the classroom. His lessons are well-prepared and engaging, and he usually focuses on developing fluency. He also adapts easily to different learning styles and is very patient and respectful.
Any range from 7 years old upwards.
When planning lessons, I start by setting clear learning objectives and selecting activities that match my students’ level and interests. I follow a communicative, student-centered approach that balances all four skills and integrates grammar and vocabulary in context. I prepare materials that encourage participation, anticipate possible difficulties, and always reflect afterward to improve future lessons.
I assess progress through a mix of formative and summative methods—class participation, written and oral tasks, quizzes, and ongoing observation. I also value informal assessment, such as monitoring how confidently students use new language in real communication. I give regular feedback and use the results to adjust my teaching and support individual needs.
Yes, I assign homework and short tasks regularly to reinforce what we cover in class and encourage independent learning. I review all work carefully, provide clear and constructive feedback, and highlight both strengths and areas for improvement. Whenever possible, I discuss common errors in class so students can learn collaboratively and apply corrections effectively.
Yes, I regularly use digital tools to make lessons more interactive and engaging. For online sessions, I rely on platforms like Google Docs, Jamboard, and Padlet for collaboration, as well as videos, quizzes, and breakout rooms to promote communication and participation. I also use online dictionaries, corpora, and pronunciation tools to help students develop autonomy in their learning.
Yes, I provide additional support outside class hours. I’m available by email and phone to answer questions, clarify doubts, or give extra guidance when needed. I believe being accessible helps build trust and supports continuous learning beyond the classroom.
Yes, I focus on understanding why a student is struggling—whether it’s confidence, interest, or difficulty with the content—and adapt my approach accordingly. I use positive reinforcement, varied and interactive activities, and show how English connects to their personal goals or interests. Building a supportive atmosphere and celebrating small achievements helps students regain motivation and confidence.
Yes, I have experience working with students with learning differences and special needs. I adapt materials, pacing, and instructions to meet individual requirements, and use a variety of multisensory and differentiated strategies to ensure inclusion. My goal is always to create a supportive environment where every student can participate and make progress at their own rhythm.
