Teaching Approach
|
|
|
I specialize in teaching students how to adopt the other 93% of communication into their daily lives along with the additional 7%. In order to communicate effectively, we must adopt the 100% communication strategy.
Only 7% of communication is verbal, whereas the other 93% consists of eye contact, hand gestures, body language, intonations, word stress, facial expressions, pronunciation and so forth.
I teach students the art of presentation, especially when presenting themselves, a businesses presentation, presenting a thesis, presenting a seminar or answer questions of immigrations officials when travelling abroad.
I train students to present their speeches by reading the speeches in advance in front of an audience.
My focus is to teach any student self-confiden ce when presenting a speech in front of many people. I also teach students how to make speeches interesting, especially when students aren't confident with their level of English pronunciation .
Similar with Thai language, I have the ability to use my English course outlines to teach Thai conversation to non-Thai speakers.
I spent nearly 12 years socialising with Thai people in educational, government,sp ort, religious, political, public and private sectors on a day to day basis.
I also speak fluent Afrikaans which is native to South Africa. I can translate between English and Thai and vice verse or between Afrikaans and Thai and vice versa in order to explain or define meanings and definitions in various languages native to the student.
I have a sense to define certain things and I can easily give accurate explanations even if students aren't able to speak English.

Business English for Communication
ESL, Montessori, conversation for students in kindergarten, primary school, high school, university and also adults.
I tought English for thirteen years in Asia and I have a very deep understanding of Thai culture. I lived with the Thai army for nearly nine years.
I have a special ability to teach both English and Thai, even though I am not a Thai national. Thai was my spoken language for a decade.
My fluency in the pronunciation of Thai is exceptional among the majority of foreigners who resided in Thailand.
I am unable to read or write Thai, but I speak and understand verbal Thai around 85-90%.
I trained high ranking officers of the Thai Ministry of Defence and taught them how to become professional guest speakers, guides, masters of ceremonies and how to use IELTS in professionals industries, such as ; international seminars, during meetings with officials and politicians from various countries, when addressing the international community on television and even when traveling abroad.
I also have extensive experience in the industrial arena in Thailand and I have also taught seminar classes at hospitals to nursing students and I even taught English to novice monks.
I have also trained, groomed and prepared flight attendants, air hostesses, exchange students, military exchange personnel, businessmen and women, Thai teachers, government workers, doctors, lawyers, wives of foreign expats in Thailand, engineers (Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Hitachi, Western Digital, Canon, Stanley, Honda, 304 Industrial Park Employees)
I can edit, proofread and translate texts from English to Thai or vice versa.
If you need your Thesis to be proofread, then I can also assist with that. I have the ability to develop and produce course outlines, curriculums, lesson plans(daily, weekly, monthly), course syllabus, themes and contents with precise instructions on how to teach the contents in class, how to do revision and also additional materials such as worksheets, flashcards, songs, chants, activities, games, digital resources etc., etc.
I have also taught English in China.
