Teaching Approach
I frequently introduced the very German concept of ‘Lernspiel’ i.e. learning by playing to my English-speaking students, which was quite effective in teaching language. I innovated many techniques of teaching that included interactive group exercises as well as individual drills based of individual needs of students.
Availability
I am flexible and can easily adapt my teaching time to the schedule of my students.
