My English classes are personalized and designed to meet the specific needs, interests, and goals of each student. I believe that learning is most effective when it feels relevant and engaging, so I take the time to get to know my students and create lessons that truly make sense for them.

I follow a communicative and student-centered approach, which means the focus is on real-life use of the language. Whether a student needs English for everyday situations, travel, work, or academic purposes, I make sure that what we do in class helps them feel more confident and capable in those contexts. I work on all four language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—integrating them into activities that are both practical and interesting.

My classes are dynamic and varied. While textbooks can be useful, I don’t rely on them alone. I use a wide range of materials, including articles, videos, audio clips, podcasts, images, and even real-world content like news or social media posts. This variety keeps lessons fresh and also exposes students to different accents, cultures, and ways of using English in real life.

Each class is flexible and can be adapted based on what the student needs at the time. We might spend a session practicing conversation, preparing for an interview, reviewing grammar, improving pronunciation, or building vocabulary. I also create space for students to ask questions, express doubts, and revisit difficult topics as often as needed.

Most importantly, I strive to make learning a positive and enjoyable experience. I want my students to feel safe, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. My goal is for them to not only improve their English, but also to enjoy the process, stay motivated, and gain the confidence to use the language freely and fluently.
