My teaching style is always learner focused for example, how the student sees his/her problems is more important than how I see the issues. Recently I developed a lot of indoor activity interests, such as movies and books, which we can surely discuss during breaks!

This allows students to break down a text in a way which will allow them to understand the meaning and also grammatical aspects of the literature. There are many other methods which I use to teach, but one which is very important is the notion that practice makes perfect! If students can fall into a pattern...
