Advert description
Hi, I am Max and I have a PhD degree in philosophy. I have been teaching for more than 8 years. I specialize in teaching English language, English literature, media literacy and creative writing.
My teaching philosophy is that I work for you. I believe there is no such thing as a bad question. You have to make mistakes in order to learn. My lesson plans vary between students depending on their skills and what they would like to improve on.
I use the sligerlend method of teaching, which means that I focus on you using the words you are struggling with a few times in a sentence, as well as writing it down. This method works on memory retention from our lessons. There's no point in taking lessons if you can't remember what you learned. I have worked extensively with students with disabilities, specifically students with autism, attention deficit disorder and dyslexia. I will adjust my teaching to fit your needs. We will start with a conversation to find out what you would like to improve on, meanwhile I'll take my own notes and advise you on other elements we can improve on. My lesson plans vary from student to student, for example someone attempting to improve their conversational skills, I work to get them comfortable and confident talking about things they are interested in first. Then work on our formal workplace language and informal English. I found with some students, who are really struggling with speaking English, that developing an accent can really help. It's more fun than it sounds. I work hard on making my lessons enjoyable. I noticed, when teaching at the University, that students retained more information when I turned the lessons into games. I look forward to speaking with you.
