Teaching Approach
I help learners stop feeling stressed and intimidated, learn how to enjoy the process, and celebrate their wins along the way.
My teaching approach values:
Flexibility, meeting students where they’re at
Going beyond grammar worksheets and engaging with real life use-cases, like conversation practice or reading a restaurant menu
Recognizing that learning a new language can require vulnerability, and helping students feel more and more confident over time
Academic rigour (when appropriate) and getting the details right
Supporting learners to have fun and enjoy the process, instead of feeling nervous or stressed
Having a sense of humour, leaning into the fact that sometimes language learning can be very silly! (Like when you are practicing your nasal vowel sounds)
Cultivating emotions like curiosity, excitement, a sense of mastery, and the joy of discovery
