Teaching Philosophy
Effective. Practical. Fun.
At Green Valley Academy, we believe language learning is more than just memorization and repetition. Language learners should not just study a language, they should be comfortable and confident using it too.
Our multidisciplinary approach introduces the foundational elements of English; vocabulary, phonics, and grammar. From here we use focused lesson modules and project based learning in class to build the skills and confidence of our students.
While still learning important test-taking skills, our students also develop the confidence to use their English outside of the classroom.
