Teaching Approach
I'm a big believer in that the best way of learning is by doing it' and it's always best starting with the basics.
When you learn English - you start with the alphabet, and that's just how we will start. Then we build from there and learn the in's and out's of this exciting language step-by-step.
I'm easy-going and flexible, with a professional attitude, and we will always go at your pace.... you are in control!
