Experience Summary
more than 35 years of teaching experience in schools,language centers and academies throughout the Middle East.
I am a language consultant in English and french where I designed curricula for various levels and trained teachers in linguistic methodology.Teaching is my lifetime passion.The teaching method should be tailored to the student's character,ability and the degree of assimilation.There is no standard method of teaching.
Teaching Style
Active learning is the most effective way to learn.This entails an ongoing dialogue between teacher and learner.For example,grammar rules are ABSORBED and not taught in an abstract way.At the end of each topic,a role play is implemented where the learner becomes the teacher,and vice versa as this is the best way for both
the teacher and students to assess the level of the student's understanding.
My Hobbies
reading,sports(I am a sport freak) and socializing,beside teaching which is my first hobby.
Other Comments
my students call me by my first name.There is no "Mr" or "Sir" in my vocabulary.
