English (ESL) with Shanna M.

When working with me, students can expect a highly professional and student-centered approach. I firmly believe in creating a warm, inclusive, and supportive learning environment that encourages active participation and engagement from every student. I strive to foster a sense of mutual respect, trust, and open communication, ensuring that each student feels comfortable expressing themselves and asking questions. One of my strengths as a teacher is my ability to tailor my lessons to meet the specific needs and goals of my students. I understand that everyone has different motivations for learning English, be it for academic purposes, professional development, or simply for personal enrichment. By identifying individual learning styles, strengths, and areas for improvement, I can create personalized lesson plans that cater to each student's unique requirements, ensuring optimal progress and success. I firmly believe in the power of interactive and communicative teaching methods. Rather than relying solely on traditional textbook approaches, I incorporate a variety of multimedia resources, real-life scenarios, and engaging activities into my lessons. This helps students develop not only their linguistic skills but also their critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and cultural awareness. I aim to make the learning experience enjoyable, relevant, and practical, providing students with the necessary tools to confidently navigate the English language in real-world contexts
