Mary Bassey

My lessons are designed to be engaging, well-organized, and customized to fit each student’s unique goals, level, and learning style. I take a communicative, student-focused approach that promotes active participation and helps learners gain confidence in real-world situations. Typically, each lesson kicks off with a brief warm-up or review, followed by targeted work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or conversation, based on what the student needs.
I mix in a variety of teaching techniques, such as guided speaking practice, role-plays, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises to make learning both practical and fun. I also provide clear explanations and examples to break down complex grammar points, ensuring that students grasp the material before we move forward. My lessons are lively and supportive, fostering a comfortable atmosphere where students feel at ease to speak up and embrace mistakes as part of their learning journey.
With several years of teaching experience and a TEFL/TESOL certification, I’ve had the pleasure of working with learners of all ages and skill levels, primarily in one-on-one settings. This experience has sharpened my ability to tailor lessons to meet individual needs, whether they’re looking to boost their conversational English, prepare for exams, or improve their communication skills for work or travel. I also offer constructive feedback and optional practice activities to help students keep progressing outside of our lessons.
I also prioritize creating lasting progress by establishing clear goals, monitoring growth, and inspiring students with regular encouragement. This way, every lesson becomes not just productive, but also enjoyable overall.
