Tutoring Approach

I like to make my students feel comfortable and make the lessons enjoyable and fun while challenging enough to make the student feel that they are progressing. I design activities which are varied, interactive and engaging. I enjoy teaching using a variety of methods comprising all the four skills and can promise very impressive results.
