Human behaviour has always been fascinating to me. I have spent 6 years learning about human psychology in many different aspects and it still continues to amaze me. Within this, teaching language has also been very interesting and fun for me, especially as a second language. With every student I teach, I continue to learn more and more about different cultures and languages which keeps me motivated.

As a psychology-trained teacher, I take pride in teaching students skills that will develop their critical thinking and guide them to think more outside of the box through interactive discussions. I deeply value the bond and relationships that I create with my students as I believe it to be a strong motivating factor for students to work hard when they feel respected and appreciated. I also firmly believe that positive reinforcement is a crucial element of effective teaching since it builds confidence and self-esteem in students, especially for those that might be facing academic difficulties.
