Hello, I would like to encourage you to take the first step towards exceling in the English language. What ever your area of concern be, best believe that I can help you reach your goals. My areas of expertise are

Me as a Teacher
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Applied Communication from the University of Fort Hare South Africa and a 120 hour TESOL certificate. I have taught English for many years to both kids and grown adults on one-on-one tutorial sessions and on online platforms. If you are looking to exercise and sharpen your English skills in conversation, comprehension, grammar and more, I will be more than happy to help you.
My lessons & teaching style
My tutorial sessions are normally very OPEN, FUN AND ENGAGING.
I always provide a safe atmosphere for my students to freely engage in the learning process. My students can engage in conversation with me, ask questions and receive honest and constructive feedback.
My teaching style utilizes TPR (Total Physical Response) which involves the use of action and gestures to illustrate and demonstrate what I say verbally. This is very helpfully in learning a new language as it helps create understanding and releases anxiety from the student, while also making the learning process fun.
