Teaching Style

I help students with IELTS and TOEFL. I also focus on pronunciation, and sentence structure to help you in getting a good score on your test. In addition, I will point out what your weak points are such as using the correct tenses, transitioning from one sentence to another using subordinating conjunctions, i.e. linking words to help you get a good score on your test. For example, using only coordinating conjunctions (your FANBOYS) is not good enough to help you get a good score. I encourage students to focus on their weak points but not neglect their strong points. For example, if a student's weak point is past tense, then they should focus on improving it. If it's grammar, then they should focus on that. If it's both, I encourage them to work on overcoming these weak points. I am patient and kind with a desire to see my students succeed and pass their tests. I have lots of materials to help you with your IELTS and TOEFL preparation. ** NOTE: IELTS. TOEFL AND BEGINNERS ONLY.
