Tilda
15+ years of teaching English as a foreign language. I have experience working in a state school and university, but my true passion is working with adults (including teachers), which I have been doing for the most part of my teaching career.
I have a degree in TESOL as well as Cambridge teaching qualifications: CELTA (Pass B), Delta M1 (Pass with Merit) and Delta M2 (Delta M3 in progress). My level of English is C2+ (CPE Grade A).
I'm a huge proponent of the lexical approach and dogme. I use both in my lessons and help other teachers implement them in their classrooms. I also promote reflection, as I believe this tool is crucial for both teachers and learners. I love experimenting, and professional development is a big part of my life.
I am based in Jena, Germany. I've got two kids, and in my free time, I enjoy taking long walks and reading books for teens.
The aim of the group is to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Our discussions are based on the book (we read and discuss two or three pages every week), and I assist you in understanding and implementing the ideas from it in your teaching.
At every meeting, you
• reflect on your teaching in the previous week (have you applied any of the principles/activities we discussed last time? what have you learned?);
• discuss theory from the book;
• do practical tasks;
• develop an action plan (what, where and how are you going to implement before our next meeting?).
If you need a boost or feel stuck and want to try something new, come and join us. Even attending just one meeting might impact your teaching. You can join the group at any moment. The price is €7 per meeting .
