Saige
Learn and practice English language skills - all levels welcome!
Hello! My name is Saige, and I am a native English language speaker from Canada. I have experience teaching English language at all levels, from the very basics to improving conversational language skills. I take an individual approach to support with reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary practice. LESSONS AND TEACHING APPROACH: I believe that language learning should be a comfortable and enjoyable process. The more positive your experience, the more meaningful and sustainable your learning will be. Before starting, I suggest a session where we get to know each other and talk about your language learning goals. I know that that everyone has different learning styles and paces, and so I take a flexible and individually-made approach to teaching. I will prepare everything we need for the lesson, and suggest that we meet wherever is easiest and most comfortable for you.
