* WHAT TO EXPECT:

I will always come prepared with a lesson plan for you. You can request what you want to focus on or leave it up to me to decide based on my assessment of your language skills.

* KIDS CLASSES:

With my younger students, I use the CLIL approach.
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) I create custom lesson plans based on the student's interests. They consist of science, wildlife, cartoons, comics, geography, dinosaurs, sports, adventure, etc. I find students are more engaged and are more excited to learn English when it is presented in a fun and relatable way. My kid's classes will include reading, writing, speaking, listening comprehension, grammar practice, drawing, and games. We watch interactive videos, read and create stories, and play educational games. All presented in a fun and creative slideshow presentation.

*CLASS TYPES: Kids (All Levels) Teens (All Levels) Adults (All Levels) Daily Conversation (Beginner) Daily Conversation (Elementary) Daily Conversation (Intermediate) Daily Conversation (Advanced) Business English (Beginner) Business English (Elementary) Business English (Intermediate) Travel English Drama/ Movie English Current Affairs/ News English Grammar Pronunciation Vocabulary Study Counseling Group Classes

We work on pronunciation, grammar, spelling, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and communication.
