Good day,I hope this finds you healthy, safe and content and thank you for giving me the opportunity to promote myself to you as your English teacher. ABOUT ME:
I'm a native English speaker with English being the first language of Ireland. My classes are 1 hour in length and the classes cover a wide range of subjects and topics from business to general English. I will set class material and lessons that are specific to any topic or profession that you the student requires. The students needs always come first in my lessons/classes. The scope/modules of the English language covered in my classes are as follows:
Grammar (including the proper uses of the 12 (there are actually 16 tenses in the English language with 12 major ones).
* Vocabulary,
* Pronunciation,
* Speaking,
* Listening,
* Reading,
* Writing,
* Colloquial English (different speech and accents British v American v Australian etc.) which is used in ordinary or familiar conversation.Its not formal or literary English. COURSE/LESSON PRICES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
It is €40 for one single class as a trial lesson. If you decide to purchase a block of 10 lessons, it will cost €350 which is a saving of €50.The Trial class fee is of course included in the group of 10 classes if you do decide to purchase 10 classes/lessons. The classes are conducted on TEAMS or the Messenger platforms.The classes also include me issuing you with professional suitable textbooks, audio recordings and worksheets for homework and class exercise. Here I would like to outline the template for your classes. My classes are 1 hour in length delivered on the MICROSOFT TEAMS platform. Before you take any class, I would call you on MICROSOFT TEAMS / MESSENGER to access your current level and what are you goals / aims are in regards to improving your English.This would allow me to select a suitable text book (which is included in the fee if you decide to take 10 lessons). My method of teaching is that of an approachable demeanour, that encourages students to think for themselves, all this being encouraged through my passion for the subjects I teach.This would be in contrast with the more traditional and conservative teaching methods. I like to employ a much more dynamic and student-centred approach. My catchphrase to all students is "carpe diem," which means "seize the day." Passionate and life-affirming learning can awaken our inner greatness and spur us to follow our dreams and overcome hardship.My teaching theme is about always seizing opportunities and not letting life and genuine opportunities pass you by. MODUS OPERANDI (METHOD OF OPERATING):
My ”compass points” are as follows:
* Patience.
* Empathy.
* Adaptability.
* Continuous Learning Mindset.
* Cultural Competence.
* Stress Management.
* Communication.
* Student Engagement. It is my experience of over 25 years teaching a number of different subjects through the English language that I have found that a warm, creative, supportive, prepared, and engaging teacher resonate best with students. Grown-ups,(adults) no matter how far removed they are from their school years, can likely still name a favourite teacher. Great teachers have a way of remaining in the memories of those they taught for many years and that’s my aim. I would like to think that I am that teacher who will stay with you long after the classes have ended. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and thank you for your interest. Have a lovely day. Mel Devlin
