What and How Do I learn?
Increase Long-Term-Memory. Get Practical.
Absorb inputs through vocabulary, grammar, and listening
Apply what you learned in speaking and writing
Repeat practice in a fun and creative way

Fast-Reading Practice - Why Can't I Read Faster?
"Chunk-Reading" Practice
No more translating in your head
Comprehend sentences using a "image", not words

Listening and Pronunciation - Understand Rules of the Sounds
People speak differently from how you "think"
Shadowing practice - Your accents will disappear
Being able to pronounce and speak = being able to hear - It's a training

Most importantly, get your body used to the language!
Use your ears, mouth, and eyes fully to expose yourself to the language!

How is her Teaching Like?
Passionate, calm, and centered. Lead and support learners patiently
Balanced Lesson - Relaxing at times and thorough at other times 
Honest Communication - Always listen to students' needs and requests
