Hello there! I'm Katrina and as an experienced English instructor, I have been teaching for the past four years to students from around the world wishing to further their English language learning journey. My experience comes as an online English instructor for various online platforms.
I believe that the student should talk more than the teacher. Every student should have a personalized lesson plan for each lesson with feedback on their progress. Here is an idea of how my lessons are:
TEACHING STYLE:
For students taking their first lesson with me, I recommend taking a 30 min. lesson with me so that we can make an English plan for future lessons. It's a good way for us to get to know each other and plan out an efficient strategy for your English learning needs. All lesson plans will be customized for each student. Please send a message if you have any questions or inquiries.
Here is what a lesson may look like:
WITH LESSON PLAN (60 min. lesson plan example):
(5 min.) INTRODUCTIONS
(10 min,) GRAMMAR: "Superlatives and Comparatives"
(5 min.) SPEAKING VIA VIDEO RESPONSE: "New York Celebrates 2018"
(10 min.) READING COMPREHENSION: "Hong Kong Living Conditions"
(10 min.) FREE TALK BREAK
(5 min.) VOCABULARY: "Quantities and Containers"
(10 min.) POWERPOINT: "Main Ideas and Details"
(5 min.) LISTENING EXERCISES: "Physical Descriptions"
WITHOUT LESSON PLAN:
We can have a free talk session where I can correct any grammar or pronunciation mistakes.
