Aubrey Fock-Tave (Mr)

TEFL CERTIFIED TEACHER

I am a highly motivated and passionate TEFL teacher. As an educator I employ inter-disciplinary and creative approaches that foster critical thinking and active dialectic learning. I am an effective and empathetic educator who prides himself in creating an all-inclusive and safe learning milieu that gives students the confidence to develop and put into practice their acquired knowledge. My innovative and dynamic delivery is focused on making English Language accessible to different learner profiles and learning types across a spectrum of backgrounds and levels. My forte is breaking down abstract concepts and grammatical structures for effective comprehension and application through developing effective study skills. As a multi-lingual practitioner, I deploy teaching strategies that are conscious of learners with different first languages and uses relativity and comparability of English to other language.
