I prefer one-on-one teaching. It gives both student and teacher an opportunity to get to know each other better, and establish a bond of friendship.
I believe in a holistic approach to teaching. The student should be comfortable with the level of English and the course material, even if it is just a free conversation.
The student and teacher need to form a good working relationship as they both need to adapt to each other's character and personality. Therefore, we spend the trial lesson getting to know each other well.
We talk about our goals and hobbies and try to find some common ground.

Zinhle

I have 3 years of experience teaching a diverse range of students, from beginner to advanced. My teaching approach combines the communicative method, task-based learning, and project-based learning to ensure lessons are interactive, engaging, and effective. I understand that learning can sometimes be challenging so I make use of a variety of visual aids, games, videos, and worksheets to create a dynamic learning environment.

In my approach to online learning, I use a variety of teaching styles to meet different learning needs. I offer instructor-led sessions for real-time interaction, along with opportunities for collaborative group work. I also incorporate self-paced learning to give students flexibility. Problem-based learning encourages critical thinking, while the flipped classroom allows students to review material on their own before engaging in deeper discussions. I also provide personalized mentoring and use gamified elements to keep learners motivated. Visual aids like charts and videos support comprehension, and I encourage discussion through the Socratic method. Lastly, I incorporate hands-on, experiential learning to help students apply what they've learned in real-world situations.
