Tutoring Experience

With extensive experience across diverse educational settings—including schools, language programs, and camps—I specialise in providing tailored support and inspiration to learners of all ages. My expertise in navigating sensitive and challenging topics is strengthened by my background in social care.

Through research-based language teaching methodologies and interactive role-play techniques, I foster meaningful engagement while addressing critical issues with empathy and cultural awareness.

Tutoring Approach

My Language Teaching Approach
My methodology focuses on authentic, student-centered learning through these core principles:

1. Communicative Competence

- Focus on real-world language use over rote memorization.

2. Personalized Instruction

- Adapt methods to learners' goals, interests, and backgrounds.

3. Active Engagement

- Use interactive discussions, games, and multimedia to boost participation.

4. Task-Based Mastery

- Design practical tasks like role-plays and projects to solidify skills.

5. Growth-Oriented Feedback

- Provide tailored corrections and guided self-reflection for improvement.

6. Cultural Fluency

- Integrate cultural insights to deepen language understanding.

Outcome: A dynamic classroom where students become confident, culturally aware communicators.
