Play-Based & TPR: Lessons focus on foundational skills and language acquisition through engaging methods like games, songs, and Total Physical Response (TPR). This methodology is directly informed by my coursework in Early Childhood Development, ensuring lessons align perfectly with cognitive and physical growth stages.
Teenagers/High School Prep
Academic & Confidence Building: Support focused on curriculum success, improving grades, and building confidence for challenging high school exams or future study abroad. My focus on persuasive communication and critical reading is enhanced by my background in Honors English and Public Speaking—skills vital for academic success.
General Adult Learners (Ages 18+)
Practical & Goal-Driven: Instruction is customized for general fluency, conversation, or settling into a new country. I focus on building vocabulary for daily life, public interactions (e.g., appointments, shopping), and gaining the confidence to transition into a native-speaking environment.
Seniors/Retirees
Travel & Social Practice: Instruction focuses on practical, low-pressure conversational practice, vocabulary for travel, and gaining the confidence to communicate with family or during holidays abroad. My Sociology and Public Speaking background helps facilitate meaningful, relevant discussions about culture and society.
