Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 22. Mar 2019
I’m a fun loving, hardworking guy who really believes that we are all teachers and students in some way and to some degree and the world is our classroom and life is our curriculum. For this reason, I really enjoy photography and reading. I’m also very interested in travelling, meeting people from all over the globe and learning about them and their cultures and learning the languages they speak. I was born in South Africa and have frequently visited Europe.. I’ve also been to Brazil and Canada. I speak Portuguese quite proficiently and some Spanish but my native language is English. I also have a huge appreciation for music, film, theatre and art.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I never enjoyed learning languages until I taught myself. I discovered the reason for this was because teaching strategies my teachers used were incompatible with my learning style and they did very little to motivate me. This made learnimg hard. Once I saw just how enjoyable and easy it could be to learn language with the right attitude and methods, I decided to start teaching English. I acquired a bachelor’s degree in education, a CELTA certificate, 2 TEFL certificates and a licence to teach. I have also taught general purpose English, business English and academic English to all ages and at all levels from beginner to advanced level and to students from around the world for over 5 years.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Many students tell me they are too busy, slow, old or unmotivated to learn English - my teaching style enables me to find solutions to these problems. Firstly, I never follow a strict timetable or curriculum even when it comes to grammar lessons, because I know that all my students learn differently. I teach my lessons to match individual pace and learning style. I instil confidence in my students from day one by giving them many opportunities to practise English, giving my feedback during or after the activity. I ensure that my lessons are always productive by paying careful attention to my learners’ needs. I also make my lessons as fun and lively as possible to keep my students motivated.
Great class!! Kai helped me a lot, I enjoyed our class and I’m motivated to study English. :)

We worked on concrete practice documents, working on my formulations and pronunciation. The lessons helped me a lot for my practical work in management to present topics.

I really enjoyed our first lesson and was impressed by how good a teacher Kai is. He gives valuable feedback, pays attention to everything you say, taking notes of every mistake you make. Also, I found his suggested exercises very interesting. You can easily tell he knows what he is doing. Thank you again!
