Tutoring Approach

Approach:

I always ask the student what they want to learn/what they want to work on
Identify what students need to work on
Focus on all key areas of language learning: speaking, reading, writing and listening
Research exam papers, syllabus and curriculum to help students achieve their highest possible grade

Conversation activities
Grammar activities
Reading and writing activities
Homework correction
Work on past exam papers specifically for YOUR exams

Positive and encouraging; corrects students the way they want to be corrected e.g. straight away or after they have finished explaining/talking; will research what the student wants and needs
