Most people need to revise the basics of language over and over again in order to master it, and having a good knowledge of how the language works at its core, i.e. its grammar, will help improve one's language skills drastically.
I think the best way of learning a language is by familiarizing yourself with it. I therefore like to conduct my lessons mainly in the target language. Moreover, I will tailor my lesson to the students' needs, a language has 4 core parts (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking), and each of us has different strong points and weaknesses when it comes to expressing ourselves in a second language.
I will ways try to keep a relaxed learning environment where the student feels comfortable learning and making mistakes.

About Me
I believe that learning new languages is a direct way of understanding new cultures, and becoming a more complete person.

A native Spanish speaker, I was born in Colombia and raised bilingual. When I was 10 I moved to Spain and learnt Catalan and French at school.

Languages have always been my passion and one of my strong points, I have spent the last 4 years learning Italian at University, so I am very familiar with the difficulties of starting and keeping up a foreign language.

Hi,
I am Firoozeh. I majored in English Language & Literature and have been teaching English for more than 10 years. Having classes in group and private sessions, with different range of ages gave me a lot of experience to know the needs of a language learner better and consequently come up with suitable methods for different requests.

Personally I believe learning a new language can be both fun and tricky at times and it would be more effective if it was handled methodologically by a language expert. it is said "the best method is no method" which means everyone has his own way and as a language teacher it would best answer when you saw your learner's requirements specifically. Some may find books better while the others have more fun with films and videos when learning. So I believe it is best to see your learners through the learning process for better adoption, also depending on the purpose of learning a language, the focus can shift from one skill to the others. as one's require might be to improve his vocabulary skill, strengthening listening can be essential for the other.

Besides all the techniques applied, I highly follow a friendly atmosphere to leave my learners with some enjoyable learning moments and fill them with so much enthusiasm.

Finally, I am a passionate language learner myself and I am currently making efforts to learn some other languages. This has broaden my point of view and aquatinted me with the difficulties involved in this path.
so I would be absolutely glad to meet you from wherever in this world you are from.
