1 . I am Milica and I am OK to teach on Skype or in person. You can get in touch with me through my mobile or e-mail. I am a very experienced ESL（以英语为第二语言）teacher—with 10 years of experience of teaching ESL. I worked for AMES for over 4 years—teaching Chinese students. I lived in China for 3 years teaching ESL. I have worked at Chisholm TAFE as an ESL teacher, too. I also worked at Mont Albert Primary School teaching ESL to all levels.
My lessons start with the students' recent level—based on real-life experiences and how best I can help them achieve both their short-term and long-term goals. I always start with a needs analysis in the first lesson.
The students need to know their learning styles. My programs are designed to meet their needs. I always provide worksheets—designed for the individual（个人）. I always give my students homework—following up their learning that they have done in the lesson.
I am always patient and try to bring out the best of my students!
I am fluent in Chinese. I can teach both beginners and intermediate levels in the language—whether it is for travel, study or HSK preparation. I teach people of all ages.
Fees
