Question 1

How are the classes conducted?

Accepted Answer

The classes are designed to be interactive and learner-centred. The students get plenty of talking time during the 1 hour session, with  regular opportunities to practice their English in a friendly and supportive environment.

Question 2

How many students are there per class?

Accepted Answer

The classes are purposely kept small and with a limited number of learners. This is in order to give each student the opportunity to ask questions and be an active participant during the lesson.

Question 3

What happens if I make mistakes?

Accepted Answer

I encourage my students to not be afraid to make mistakes; it is part of their learning journey and each mistake is an opportunity for learning and improvement.

Question 4

Why are these classes free  if they are taught by a certified English teacher?

Accepted Answer

A teacher also never stops learning and improving. These free classes allow me to continually develop and improve my teaching in a friendly and supportive environment. Students can "pay" me by giving me valuable feedback and helping me become the best teacher I can be.

Question 5

Who can attend these classes?

Accepted Answer

I tailor my content to help pre-intermediate and upper-intermediate students improve their English. Ideally, learners' English ranges between A2-B2 levels but ultimately, anyone who is keen to build on their existing English skills is welcome to join my class.

Question 6

Do you use Zoom as an online platform to teach English?

Accepted Answer

I use Google Meet which works in the same way as a Zoom link. Learners will get an email the day before the class containing the Google Meet link. Attendees then click on the link and wait to be allowed into the meeting. You do not have to have a Gmail account to be able to join the class.
