Teaching methodology: personalised; needs based; reflective

My lessons are based on your objectives, needs, and interests.
 
Lessons have a communicative objective. This means you will be able to use your English to achieve a task. And this holistic, communicative approach, means simply studying grammar is not enough. Apart from linguistic competence, we will cover discourse competence (structuring and connecting your ideas), sociolinguistic competence (levels of formality, politeness strategies, influencing, persuading etc), strategic competence (using strategies to maintain clear communication when the situation is difficult), and on top of this, soft skills (building rapport, using your voice effectively, interacting appropriately), all to help successfully achieve your communicative objectives
 
Your learning will also reflective. This means you gaining a better awareness of your needs, progress, and goals, and consequently becoming a better learner and a better communicator.
