I am a highly qualified and experienced teacher of English and Literature with 7 years of experience in teaching, as well as experience training students for the IELTS test. With my unique approach and understanding of each student's background and weaknesses, I am able to guarantee a band score of above 7.0 on the IELTS test. I understand that students learn differently and tailor my teaching methods to suit each individual learner. I use creative means and tools to ensure the most effective learning process. I understand that motivation is key in learning, and use various methods to keep my students engaged, motivated, and on track to achieve their goals.
My teaching style is interactive, dynamic, and student-centered. I use a combination of classroom lectures, group discussions, and individualized instruction to cater to the diverse needs of my students. I also use a variety of teaching aids such as videos, audio recordings, and real-life examples to make the learning experience more engaging and relatable.

My methodology is based on the communicative approach, which emphasizes the development of language skills through the use of real-life tasks and activities. I also use a task-based approach, which focuses on the development of language skills through the completion of real-life tasks and activities.

The results of my teaching are evident in the significant improvement in my student's language skills, as well as their confidence in using the language. I consistently receive positive feedback from my students and their parents, who have noted a marked improvement in their language abilities.
