LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODS

The cornerstone of my approach is adapting methods to meet each student’s unique needs. I embrace eclecticism, blending techniques from various sources to create a personalized and effective learning experience. Here’s how I do it: 

•   Context Based Teaching–learning happens in a context that resonates with your life, interests, and goals. That's why I prioritize getting to know you thoroughly before we dive in. 

• Learning Strategies –I'll help you discover strategies to become a conscious language user and an independent learner, empowering you to keep improving even beyond our lessons. 

• Mnemonics–crazy, creative techniques for memorizing through wordplay, associations, and storytelling–learning can be memorable and fun 

• Code Mixing, Code Switching, Bridging–exploring the connections and similarities between languages can deepen your understanding and make learning more intuitive. 

• Flipped Classroom Meets Content-Based Learning–every so often, it is you who teaches me about your passions and interests. Learning through sharing is not just effective but also incredibly rewarding. 

•  Improvisation–yes, we do improv even in language classes! Role plays, spontaneous dialogues and unprepared responses–all to boost your confidence and fluency. 

• Gamifcation–I bring games and challenges to the table–think Blooket, Wordle, Quizalize, Escape Rooms and Speaking Games. A little friendly competition can work wonders! 

• The Zium Snap Bum Philosophy–just go for it! No overthinking, no second guessing–just take the leap! Want to know more? Check out the philosophy behind Zium Snap Bum here.
