In 7 years of teaching experience, I've learned that the key to success when learning and new language lies in collaboration between the student and the teacher. As such, I favor a collaborative rather than hierarchical approach during my classes. When it comes to teaching methods, I adapt to the specific needs of each student. Rather than imposing a predefined method, I first seek to understand how the student works, his or her strengths and weaknesses, and learning preferences. The aim is to work together to develop an optimal learning method that suits both student and teacher.
