Also, I have over 8 years' experience teaching students at various levels, as well as working in an international environment. I have a native-like command of the language, and more importantly, I have a passion for teaching combined with a sound theoretical background and years of teaching in a variety of contexts.
I use communicative approach and in my classes I focus mainly on speaking. My students are of different ages, levels, backgrounds, and nationalities. I always adopt a personalized approach and a teaching method that will help you achieve your language learning goals.
