Who is a Practice Buddy?
In my 1 on 1 session, I make sure that students feel heard and understood. I share in a manner that encourage them to speak without the fear of making mistakes. Essentially, I center my attention towards the class’ objectives while taking into consideration my buddy’ level and preference.
I hope to see you soon.
- Take advantage of 1 on 1 lesson! Any style can be personalized.
If you are in Ipoh, the in-person lesson is highly recommended for the extra benefits.
The fastest and most effective way to be fluent is to be thrown to the ‘wild’ and be placed in a situation where they have no choice but to survive, in this case, speak the language. This is why learners experience tremendous improvement after staying and interacting with native speakers.
Practice Buddy's role is to create or simulate these ‘challenging environment' by speaking almost exclusively in the language.
Learners will book a Practice Buddy to meet online or at an agreed location. What Practice Buddy does during these sessions is to converse with learners.
