I will go to adult students house for 45 or 60 minutes lessons; as for students younger than 10 years old, there are choices of 30, 45, and 60 minutes lessons.
What does work with me look like
My teaching style is goal-oriented. Usually I will set a goal with my students to achieve with various kinds of fun activities tailored to the student. The reason is, I do expect my students to practice and refine their skills in between classes, and I will provide as many useful techniques and activities as possible. I hope my students can improve because if they improve, it is more likely they will stay motivated in the long run.
