My name is Steve and I've been a classroom teacher for 3 years. Before becoming a
classroom teacher, I worked as a tutor—helping students with English grammar, reading
and writing for two years. What makes me passionate about teaching is that as a teacher, I
can progress with the students. I view English teaching as a bidirectional process, in which
not only the students, but also the teacher learns. Being fully aware that individual students
have different learning styles, I always try to tailor my instructions and teaching materials
to provide more personalized teaching. Apart from teaching, I love to travel—exploring
different cultures and meeting new people. Also, I love food! My day won’t be complete
without eating my favourite dish!
