My approach to teaching writing focuses on building confidence, creativity, and structure step by step. I guide students through brainstorming, drafting, revising, and editing using visuals, sentence frames, and model texts. I use storytelling, speaking activities, and picture prompts to make writing engaging and accessible for English learners. I provide supportive feedback and encourage peer collaboration to help students improve their vocabulary, organisation, and independent writing skills.
I teach grammar, spelling, and punctuation through interactive and practical activities that connect to students’ reading and writing.

I help students develop literary analysis and critical thinking skills by encouraging them to ask questions, share opinions, and support their ideas with evidence from the text.

I ensure students stay actively engaged by using interactive and student-centred activities such as games, discussions, role-plays, and collaborative tasks.

I help students understand literary devices by explaining them in simple, relatable ways and using clear examples from stories, poems, and everyday language.

I also encourage students to explain how these devices affect meaning, mood, and the reader’s understanding of a text.
