English Language Acquisition Tutor, Simulated Immersion Method
From 30 C$ /h
As an MA in English Language and Culture I have been teaching English as a foreign language to children from 3 to 18 years of age (including children with special educational needs) for 20 years. I have always been ambitious and passionate to see my students’ progress and spent tremendous amount of hours delving into the scientific literature about language acquisition. I quickly got convinced that the conventional language teaching methods are not effective enough because they are not based on the extant scientific knowledge of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Phycology.
Human brain is a learning machine and it is wired to acquire languages. Yet so many people are struggling with years trying to learn a language and not being able to achieve fluency.
In my classes I use The Simulated Immersion Method which is: creating an environment that simulates the way everyone has acquired their mother tongue. I guide my students through the exciting journey of getting to know the full scope of another culture, language, traditions, and history. My task would be, firstly, to ignite the natural curiosity and interest in English language and the culture of English speaking countries. I use plenty of interactive materials, books, games, songs etc. to not only boost their language skills but also to broaden and enrich students’ common knowledge, critical thinking and overall development.
