About Me
Introduction:
I believe in creating an open and encouraging environment in my classes. I work within the Communicative Approach: music, drama and art form a large part of my toolkit, I enjoy bringing structure and excitement to learning through creativity. I believe each student (adult or young) is unique and I try to nurture a stimulating atmosphere to explore the language and encourage students to learn without fear and grow.
The creative learning process encourages students to be curious, and ask questions. I take on the role of a guide, steering the class through the linguistic forest in search of the trees. Learning English is an adventure and I am concerned with helping students reach their proficiency goals whilst enjoying the learning process.
