Extra information

I use the combination of Zoom and an interactive whiteboard so that I can work directly with my students. We work both face to face and on the collaborative whiteboard. I am an Spanish native speaker who uses a structured conversational style and blended learning techniques so that the session is fun whilst tracking strengths and weaknesses to ensure progress and feedback are possible.
When tutoring, I prepare for each session ahead of time, select books to recommend, organize time and goals. I like building connecting and understand that the interests of the student is very important and shall adapt the contents of the course according to what I learn and observe is interesting to the student. I usually follow planning and possible modify/improve the plan as we go along.
