  ? Teaching Methodology:

  My teaching style is student-centered, playful, and highly visual. I believe in creating a safe, encouraging space where children feel excited to speak and explore the language. I use a combination of:

  • TPR (Total Physical Response) – to engage young learners physically and support memory

  • Songs & Movement – to reinforce rhythm, pronunciation, and word recognition

  • Games – to build focus, interaction, and excitement for learning

  • Visual Aids – colorful slides, images, and props to support understanding

  • Repetition with Variation – to help new vocabulary stick naturally without feeling forced

  Each class is paced to match the student’s energy and needs, and I adapt in real time to provide just the right level of support and challenge.
