My English lessons build confidence, creativity and curiosity through reading, writing, speaking and listening activities!

From 123.23 C$ /h

My English lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and highly interactive, giving every child the confidence to read, write, speak and listen with growing independence. I create a warm classroom atmosphere where pupils feel safe to share ideas, make mistakes, and express themselves.

Each lesson combines clear learning objectives with a balance of whole-class teaching, guided practice, and hands-on activities. Children regularly explore stories, poems, and non-fiction texts, developing their comprehension through discussion, prediction, and inference. Writing tasks encourage creativity and accuracy, with a strong focus on vocabulary building, sentence structure, punctuation, and the use of adjectives, verbs, and connectives.

Phonics and spelling strategies are woven through the lessons to strengthen decoding and encoding skills, while speaking and listening are developed through partner talk, drama, role-play, and group discussion.

Above all, my English lessons aim to nurture:
• confidence in communicating ideas
• creativity in storytelling and writing
• curiosity about language
• careful listening to others
• a love of reading that extends beyond the classroom

Every pupil is supported to move from emerging understanding to secure mastery, ensuring steady progress and a genuine enjoyment of English.
