Questions for You

Q: Do you specialize in any specific area of linguistics? If so, which one?

I focus on pronunciation and correct sentence structure. This is for students who have a primary goal of improving their IELTS score.

Q: What methods do you use to ensure your students are engaged and understanding the material?

I strive to make each session interesting, productive and fun so that students stay engaged and focused. Retention rates are much higher when students enjoy learning!

Q: What resources do you use to supplement your teaching, such as textbooks or online resources?

I leverage a variety of resources depending on the student’s learning style. This includes, but is not limited to, worksheets, interactive videos, role play, and formative and sumative assessments.

Q: Do you incorporate speaking and listening skills into your lessons? If so, how?

Absolutely. Speaking and listening skills are essential skills needed in every area of language learning.

Q: How do you incorporate cultural understanding into your lessons?

I create each lesson with the student’s culture as a cornerstone. Students adapt and learn faster when they can relate to the material being presented to them.

Q: How do you ensure that your lessons are up-to-date and relevant?

I am always learning and incorporating new approaches to language learning that will benefit the student. There is never a one size fits all approach so each lesson is customized to the student’s level, pace and ability.

Q: What is your approach to teaching writing, including grammar and sentence structure?

Correct grammar and punctuation are always part of each lesson. I build this into each lesson in a way that is not boring but engages the student and helps them retain the most material.
