I follow a structured teaching method that includes hands on practice using tailored materials and additional resources. Furthermore, I assess for specific speaking habits and provide instruction to improve these person-specific areas of growth. The lessons are personalized to the student.

During an initial lesson, the student's language skills are assessed and a style of program identified.

There are two options:

#1 - Ongoing and flexible. This is the best option for students who have broad language goals (e.g. improve ability to obtain a future promotion). A syllabus is not provided as the content of the lessons will move at the pace of the student's growth.

#2 - Syllabus style. A set number of lessons will be agreed upon before the start of the second class. This option is best for students on a timeline and who are motivated to complete extra practice between lessons to ensure they can keep up with the content.

My experience teaching ESL in three different countries and with a wide range of students has helped me to develop a large tool kit of engaging strategies and methods. Gone are the days of text book language learning. From PWIM to TPR, methods need to engage students so that language can be imprinted in their angular gyrus, Wernicke's area and Broca's area of the brain.

During the first session, clients will be asked to talk about their previous training and techniques they use in the classroom. Together we will identify areas that require further growth (e.g. how to develop student's vocabulary, using audio/video to support understanding). A selection of techniques to support this growth will be identified and modelled with materials that the client can take with them. The next lesson will follow up on the techniques and provide further clarification as needed. My role is to support your developing professional skills and be a sounding board for new ideas.
