For second language teaching I use the Communicative approach. Student centered learning and having a teacher as a facilitator is key to fulfilling this approach. As a tutor I strongly believe in catering individual needs and going with the pace of the learner. I believe that establishing a good rapport is essential in helping students discover their strengths and to use them to overcome learning challenges. Learning is about discovering, having fun, and using knew knowledge and skills to impact our immediate reality.
