Hello, I'm from near Cologne and have lived in Thailand for almost 16 years. I like travelling by car or motorbike, I often go to cafes and let the good Lord be a good man. I like hard rock and heavy weights in the gym. Will I ever come back to Germany? Of course, in 9 years to apply for my pension, haha. Otherwise I have to say that 40 years in Germany is enough. Before Thailand I also lived in beautiful Melbourne in Australia. About 4 years in total, often commuting back and forth in the 90s. If I ever move again, it might be to Canada. We'll see.
After teaching English in various schools here for 6 years, I switched completely to online teaching 5.5 years ago.
I have a TEFL and a TESOL certificate.
The most important thing for me is that the student has fun. To do this, I have a lot of small talk, stories and questions ready to make the learning situation always relaxed. It is easier to learn in a friendly atmosphere.
It is also very important to me that my students can be understood well by the German or English native speakers. That is why I always correct incorrect pronunciation and practice it until the word comes across clearly. I always cover the necessary grammar with lots of exercises and examples. No mindless memorization of rules - as far as possible.
A typical lesson for me looks like this: greeting, some small talk, then booking the next lesson. Then to the digital board, which I share with the student, and we look at the student's homework together, which has already been corrected. Then work in the exercise book with audio texts and videos. Farewell, email with PDF of the lesson.
