Teaching Style
My teaching style is to assist the student with proper use of the English language but in a conversational manner. We would have a conversation and I will help the student wherever they may have difficulty. I believe the Cambly Lessons and Engoo articles are a valuable source of grammar and new vocabulary as well as a great source for conversations!
