Maria Hamrani

Hello, I am Maria, and I am a fully qualified English teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and experience teaching students of different ages and proficiency levels. My lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and student-centered, focusing on practical language use as well as academic skills.

Teaching Methods:
I use a mix of communicative, task-based, and structured approaches to ensure students not only understand the rules of English but also feel confident using the language in real situations. Lessons incorporate speaking, listening, reading, and writing, with regular feedback to reinforce learning.

Content:
My lessons cover grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation skills, tailored to the student’s level and goals. For advanced students, I include business English, exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL), and writing skills. I also integrate authentic materials such as articles, videos, and real-life scenarios to make learning meaningful and relevant.

Lesson Dynamics:
Each lesson typically begins with a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, followed by clear explanations of new language or concepts. Students then engage in guided practice and communicative activities such as role-plays, discussions, or presentations. Lessons conclude with feedback, reflection, and optional extension tasks to reinforce learning. I emphasize a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where students feel motivated to participate and take risks with the language.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught in high schools and language centers, delivering lessons in both one-on-one and group settings. My experience includes preparing students for exams, improving fluency, and developing academic writing and critical thinking skills.
