Teaching Approach
|
|
|
English:
My approach is to teach the four skills (Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening) to build student's confidence so that they can communicate at whatever level in English. I use well-tried methods such as emphasis on high-frequenc y words for reading, worksheets I have prepared for practice, and role-plays for gaining confidence in speaking. I have taught students from Beginners to IELTS, and students with particular learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. My approach is also to make the lessons enjoyable, as learning through being comfortable and happy with the teacher I think is most important.
Spanish:
Wit h Spanish I can only truthfully offer up to Intermediate level.In Oman I had a class for six months of six total beginner teenage students, who ended up being able to write and perform a rap song in Spanish! My methods are obviously the same as I use with English, and I try to make the classes enjoyable.

Program Description
|
|
|
I have been teaching English as a Foreign Language since 1987. I worked in Barcelona, Spain until 2003 when I went to Qatar. After Qatar I came to Oman in 2006. I am now back working in Qatar since February 2012.
My lessons are based on a well-tried system which has worked well over the years, and I have always had satisfactory feedback from students. I taught Business English mostly in Barcelona, including Presentations , E-mail writing, Telephone language and Socialising in Business. In Qatar and Oman I mainly taught General English to adults.
My connection with Spanish comes from living in Barcelona for 17 years. I did courses there to improve my Spanish, and my husband, who was Spanish, didn't speak English.
