Any other thing you would like others to know	Teaching Style/Approach Coming from a performance art background, I enjoy adding practical creativity when I teach or facilitate. Believe it or not, this is possible, even virtually. I believe communication and interaction should be made memorable for us to have a better understanding and appreciation. The more fun and visual stimulation there is, the better the learning experience will be for both parties. I'm probably the most approachable person I know - I enjoy conversation and learning about new cultures. There's always something to talk about. Running out of conversation is unknown to me. I believe patience is an extremely valuable tool if approached right. It's a quality that can help you get into great situations and out of sticky ones. 3 Most Important Qualities of a language lesson. “To me the top 3 qualities of a language lesson will definitely be the following: 1. Try to develop a sense of what the child is drawn to, his interests, likes and dislikes, and incorporate that into your lessons. 2. Be visually creative and resourceful. This will allow you to effortlessly explore different approaches to teaching the subject at hand and also increase the visual stimulation in your lesson. 3. Continuous conversation! Continuous verbal interaction with your student will help you get a better understanding of their needs. You should never run out of things to say.”
