My materials are based on three key principles: learning should be meaningful, challenging and motivating. This is why I tend to step away from the textbooks which, more often than not, are demotivating, disconnected from real-life contexts and leave little to no space for learners’ individuality and interests.
I hope I can help and inspire you to destroy your textbook with me!
