Teaching Approach
** Free 30 minute test lesson **
** Already delivered more than 4000 online sessions **
I have a very patient approach towards teaching and try to make the content and delivery specific to the requirements of the student. I follow a structured methodology for teaching and offer both session recordings and PDF for revision at a later time at your end. The students can also submit written work.
I deliver my lessons through a very effective system, meant for this purpose and much better than Skype. Students can join it for free. It comes with a basket of features recording of complete sessions, whiteboard, etc. The digital pen I often use during the sessions, is very handy for writing Hindi / French characters and accents on the whiteboard. Students don't even need any special arrangements, just a normal laptop, headset and a stable internet connection. Overall, it's a lot of fun, ease and immensely effective.
All my classes are private one-on-one sessions, and the course content is designed as per requirements of the student, having a proper mix of GRAMMAR, VOCABULARY, CONVERSATION etc. Students have the freedom to set the pace of the course as per their capacity to grasp new material. My classes are very relaxed helping students to give away their fear of speaking a foreign language.
