Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I assess what the student is having difficulty in . I make sure to include praise along the way. I implore creativity into my lessons and to make sure to be aware of when a student needs a break. I use Skype or Zoom for my sessions. A combination of communicative languages training (CLT) and content-based instruction (CBI). Use materials based on authentic videos, news articles, and real-life situations.
