Free flow inquiry method of teaching English

I teach private English lessons to children and adults using the inquiry method of instruction and free flow creativity. I never spoon-feed or lecture. Instead I cultivate critical thinking, inner curiosity, imagination, and creativity. These are highly valuable skills not always found in schools. At our final class together after more than seven months of weekly 90 minute lessons at her home in Istanbul, Ada shows her self-confidence in writing English and guiding the lesson plan. Here she resolutely owns the learning process as she tightly grips her pink marker at the whiteboard. Today she decides she will learn how to spell English words that contain the double letters of "oo" and "ee." She carefully listens to me pronounce new words, and reflects as she spells them out. I feel so proud when the student guides the discovery learning process. Thank you so much Ada for including me in your imagination and fulfilling me as a teacher.
