Τα τρία βασικά συστατικά της χαρισματικότητας στη διδασκαλία:
-  Η ικανότητα να οδηγείς τον κάθε μαθητή να δώσει τον καλύτερο εαυτό του στο

εσύ, την αγάπη στη μάθηση.

αλληλοϋποστηρίζεται και μαθαίνει, όχι μόνο από την δασκάλα, αλλά κι ο ένας
από τον άλλο.

των εξετάσεων.

Latest UPDADES

 Are you an auditory or visual learner? There are no such distinct styles. Anyway, if you have a preference for watching movies, looking at pictures or listening to the teacher rather than writing or reading when you study, then, you might belong to either of these two categories.

You will definitely retain more information using these types of visual aids. Whether you are a teacher or a student, you'll probably find my selection useful. For more episodes of the video lessons, please go to Extra Learning English or Popeye the Sailor

Learning English is Fun  (Episodes 1, 2, 3) - recommended level A2+

As a music lover you can either watch the original band's video or just listen to the track and read the lyrics.
EMF - the band
Unbelievable by EMF  - recommended level B2+

I do hope you'll use and enjoy both suggestions. Teachers and textbooks are unreplaceble, but the Internet is an endless source of ideas for both. So, why don't you work together to find what's best for you?

Any questions? We are ready to answer them.
Tomorrow's the New Year's Eve. I'll take the opportunity to wish you all "A happy, prosperous and successful 2013!"
