What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

Tutoring English gives me the opportunity to transfer the knowledge I have to other English learners so that they will be able to communicate in their second language. Seeing a learner is fostering her skills in speaking the language gives me a type of happiness and satisfaction that I have helped another person to see the world through the lens of the second language, i.e., English.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

Based on my experience and the CELTA report, I am skillful in: - establishing a good rapport with students. - planning procedures in sufficient detail. - providing a clear, personalised contexts and a communicative focus for language. - making use of materials, resources and technical aids to manage tasks efficiently and effectively. - etc. Also, as I am a PhD in Linguistics from UNSW, Sydney, I have extensive knowledge in analysing and describing the grammatical terms for students and learners at the higher levels.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

A tutor's role gets more prominent when s/he tries to enable the learner to understand the language and use the language in the real world. Put it simply, the learner should be enabled to understand English, analyse it, speak it and more importantly use the English functions in the right place. For instance, in sessions with learners, I will explain about the function of register (informal vs. formal English) via which she will use the register appropriately in writing and speaking. Moreover, as a tutor I present an organised syllabus which gives the learners the overall plan of the course.
