-- My Philosophy--
My vision of languages is quite broad and embraces the cultural and psychological side that comes with them. I believe that learning a new language is learning to see the world through another nations eyes.
I teach skills that will enable you to be creative and produce language, I do not believe in parroting therefore I encourage the understanding of grammar mechanisms .
I have dynamic approach to teaching which is specific for every pupil's needs.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any doubt.
