Teaching Approach
My teaching methodology is quite simple:
1. Build you confidence to speak with native speakers.
2. Use the natural approach to improve your fluency.
3. Instruct persistent or major errors to improve accuracy.
During my classes, I will custom lesson plans to fit your needs. I am particularly strong at teaching grammar and pronunciation. I do like to give my students homework, but only if you have the time.
