Teaching Style

My teaching style when teaching any subject and specifically speaking to improve grammar, sentence construction, vocabulary and overall proficiency, is 'student centered'. I try to get the student to speak as much as possible and for me to speak as little as possible. Students do by doing. I provide stimulating and interesting materials for discussion. Students are able to practice their speaking in a safe environemnt and receive correction when needed.
