English Tutors in Sammamish, WA

I’m quite flexible and easy-going during my lessons. I don’t like making my students repeat all the words and rules we have learned in the previous lesson as if it were an exam. However, we can certainly do small revisions without any pressure 😊. I believe that people learn English best when they have a personal motivation to do so. Therefore, I expect you to be responsible and ready to work as a team with me! 

I’m enthusiastic about grammar, so we’ll have a lot of exercises on various topics, especially English tenses! Additionally, I include some speaking practice in my lessons to help you use your vocabulary and grammar in conversation. 

You can expect a relaxed atmosphere during our lessons, as I try to be more of a friend than a traditional teacher. Feel free to make any requests or suggest topics you'd like to discuss during our speaking sessions!

When I teach I adapt the content towards my students' needs. I have the expertise to accommodate lessons depending on the goals and objectives you desire to attain. In addition, I'm fond of covering the 4 principal learning areas (speaking, writing, listening, reading) in each class to complement a through experience. Nevertheless, I'm aware of the vast majority of students who prefer to enhance the speaking and writing parts, and thus I'll nurture your learning with the best top-notch guidance and practice so you can master the productive skills.

In terms of feedback, I don’t correct on the spot. On the contrary, I impart it after activities have concluded. I consider allowing students talking without pauses and interruptions boosts their fluency and confidence considerably. Therefore, I'll point out reformulations and make discovery questions to reassure you grasp the aims of the lesson.

I support the classes' information by coming up with at least 3 examples in terms of grammar, vocabulary, context, etc. You can assure I’ll solve all the questions you might have when you require them. Furthermore, I conduct real-life scenario activities because those are the ones you can apply on a daily basis. With that being said, A you’ll feel fulfilled to demonstrate your English abilities to anyone!

No two students are the same, so I like to be open to/up-to-date on various learning styles/techniques and get to know my students so I can determine which method is best in order to meet their needs.

I find great value in a learner-centered approach. I love to have a class where everyone feels comfortable and participates, asks questions, feels understood, doesn't fear mistakes, (mistakes part of the learning process too!), and where we all learn from one another!

In my opinion, a successful class has good content, great conversation and is interactive. I want to see each student display their knowledge, life-experiences, and personal creativity in learning!

My teaching style is relaxed and approachable. Students instantly feel at ease when I begin our interactions. I provide them with the opportunity to express themselves in their own way, while also guiding them towards authentic expression of their thoughts.

I don't assign excessive homework. Typically, assignments are brief, taking no more than 15-20 minutes. However, I'm open to providing more extensive homework if students specifically request it.

I'm tech-savvy therefore I have lot's of tools and resources to make my students learning fun, interactive and memorable.
