Sidney Barnes

In my classes I offer all levels, either conversational classes, or more structured functional learning strategies. By this i mean taking a situation or topic such as the 'bank' or 'the art gallery' and looking at the everyday conversation needed, the grammar behind it and building vocabulary around this.

I respond to the learners needs and am always mindful of achieving certain targets and always consolidating the language learnt. Pronunciation through listening and repetition is an area I spend a lot of time on. I try to make my lessons as creative as possible and employ lots of visual aids and authentic materials.
