I have been working as a teacher for many years and I have gained a lot of experience teaching Young Learners, teenagers and adults. Being a teacher is far more than a job and I love what I do. I am an empathetic person and I can establish a very good rapport with my students. Getting to know them well is very important for me to create a positive and happy learning atmosphere.
Though there are a number of differences between teaching English to adults or to Young Learners, I have learned that maintaining a fun atmosphere in the classroom is the key in successful teaching and learning no matter the age of my learners
I adopt a fully communicative approach and language is never presented out of context. I use a wide variety of up-to-date material giving the students authentic linguistic and communicative skills.
My teaching style is the one that works best for my students. I always try different styles to meet different objectives, and always challenge myself to find ways to reach each student. When a student "gets it " is one of the most rewarding benefits of being a teacher . I constantly learn how to transfer knowledge to students .
