Tutoring Approach

I believe in different ways of learning. My job as the tutor is to cater to the individual needs of the student, to discover what will encourage the most learning and to aid struggling learners with methods which may not be available to them in a large classroom environment.
I aim to encompass lessons with visual and hearing aids, oral and written challenges and practical application.
As a performer and drama facilitator I try to add a practical element to the lessons so students may put what they have learned into practice with role play and improvisation.
My approach to tutoring is to create goal orientated lessons while embracing the unique quality and learning style of each student. I strive to respect every student's learning needs with patience and hard work.
