"Empowering English Language Learners: Using the Communicative Approach and Emotional Acceptance Techniques to Build Confidence and Fluency"

About

My teaching style is highly interactive, providing my students ample opportunities to practice their language skills in a safe and supportive environment. I understand that many students may experience fear or anxiety when speaking a foreign language, and I work hard to create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and confident expressing themselves.

Reviews

Great teacher

Natalia is a great teacher, she makes the lesson flow very smoothly, fun and quickly. While I could not speak English at all, I improved a lot in two months. She changed the negative thoughts in my mind and also became a friend to me. Teaching is great 💜
