Nicole's Introduction
I am a very dynamic, motivated, and committed teacher who likes to work with the English language in a way that is motivating, interesting, and useful for my students. I like to use games, apps, movies, music. I try to involve the students' interests as much as I can. I like to send messages to my students on a daily basis to get them thinking in English. I focus a lot on speaking, but we go through all the skills. I have experience in teaching, tutoring, and business training, from Preschool, Primary, Elementary, and Secondary levels, University and Adults; since 2008, the year I graduated.

About Me
I am a person who seeks to learn and always be updated. I seek to further learn in areas that interest me and where I feel the need for professional or personal development. I love music, dancing, and my dogs.
Teaching Approach
I like to use games, online games, board games, apps, movies, music, and dynamic activities. I try to involve the students' interests as much as I can: music they like (bands, singers), movies they like, hobbies (reading, painting, swimming), and games (PS games). I also like to use real-context resources such as newspapers and magazines. I like to send emails/messages to my students on a "daily" (frequent) basis to get them involved in the language and thinking in English. I focus a lot on speaking, but we go through all the skills: listening, reading, comprehension, writing, literature, grammar, creative writing, and drama/theater.
