I am patient, encouraging and creative. I enjoy engaging with students and challenging them but also believe it is important to create a relationship of trust to promote the best teaching environment. I have benefited from an excellent education and feel very passionately about using my expertise and skills to help others in their proficiency with the English language and other subjects. I like my lessons to blend an academic approach with a more practical and creative one to ensure each lesson is as memorable as it can be. I begin each lesson with the aim of ensuring every student leaves the class feeling more confident than they did when they entered the classroom. I promote an atmosphere of respect and support in my classrooms, with each student supporting their classmates when engaging in the English language. My education credentials also provide me with a ;od platform of understanding children who may have some difficulties and how to ensure they get the best out of the lessons.
