Mary Esinam Kodzi

While this is my first formal teaching role, I have a natural ability to connect with children, keep them engaged, and create a warm, patient environment where they feel safe to learn.*

I have always enjoyed interacting with children, using a gentle and encouraging approach that helps shy kids open up and feel confident. My background has taught me how to break instructions down into simple, easy-to-understand steps, which is essential when introducing young minds to a new language.


Areas of Expertise

Introducing basic English vocabulary through everyday objects, colors, numbers, and animals. Using visual aids, props, and playful activities to keep children focused and excited about learning.
Helping children get comfortable with letter sounds, simple words, and correct pronunciation through fun repetition and songs.


Teaching Method

My teaching method for young kids is **play-based, highly visual, and interactive**, ensuring that learning feels like fun rather than a chore.

Visuals & Props: I will use colorful flashcards, real-life objects (like toys or fruit), puppets, and facial expressions/gestures to help children grasp meanings without needing heavy translation.
Total Physical Response (TPR): I incorporate movement, nodding, clapping, and hand gestures so children can engage physically, which helps them remember words much faster.

Positive Reinforcement: I use lots of encouragement, virtual stickers, and praise to celebrate every small win, building their self-esteem from day one.

I am fully equipped with a dedicated remote setup (high-speed fiber internet, HD webcam, and noise-canceling headset) and proficient in virtual communication tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams to deliver seamless online lessons.
