As an ESL, IELTS, and English tutor, I believe in an Elaborative, Interactive and Structured teaching methodology to engage students at all levels. I make sure to choose reading materials that align with the interests of my students, be it fiction or technical writing.

My goal is to make learning English enjoyable and effective for adult, professional, and college students alike.In my teaching, the methodology I take could emphasise communicative and student-centered learning. In these processes, I might prioritise language acquisition through real-life contexts, focusing on speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Lessons could also be tailored to individual learner needs, promoting active participation through discussions, role-playing, and group activities. Incorporate multimedia, authentic texts, and technology to enhance engagement, encouraging learners to use English in practical situations is also utilised. I also adopt a task-based approach, where students complete specific tasks that mimic real-world challenges. Feedback is continuous, helping students develop accuracy and fluency. Finally, I make sure the emphasis of cultural awareness and global communication skills, fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable experimenting with language and learning from their mistakes.
