Since most of my students already have a strong background in English language structure and grammar, my lessons heavily emphasize conversation, listening and reading skills, based on increasing students range of vocabulary and English expressions.

I try to maintain a balance of structure and flexibility in my lessons: In planning a lesson I follow the Trinity College teacher training methodology. This gives them a logical order and flow. Within that framework I like to remain flexible in order to address individual student needs.

I studied for my TEFL diploma during my first pregnancy. And I'm not a typical classroom style teacher. All of my lessons are based on normal everyday friendly conversation. You'll be surprised how much you can learn through a friendly chat, outside of the classroom environment.
