English classes overview
As an ESL tutor, I specialize in teaching students at all levels – from school to college and even adult/professionals. My teaching methodology involves focusing on speaking practice, interactive discussions, and reading comprehension. I believe in helping students excel in literature analysis and writing, which are crucial for academic success and beyond. Drawing from my own studies in literary analysis and effective communication strategies, I aim to enhance reading comprehension skills in my students. Additionally, I incorporate peer reviews to encourage constructive feedback and create a sense of community in the learning process. My goal is to make learning engaging and effective for every student I work with.
