About Me
italki teacher since Apr 29, 2020
I'm someone who puts heart in whatever I do. I love my family, spending quality time with my children (yes, I'm teaching them languages too and my 4-year-old is fully tri-lingual). Living in Cape Town, South Africa, you can't help being a nature lover too. My usual weekend would be conquering another mountain, exploring a new hiking trail or cycling through the forests and vineyards of the Cape. A glass of beautiful Cape wine, an intriguing book and the loved ones around - is that not a perfect way to relax? My other passion is my faith in Jesus Christ which I cherish. And that's a brief summary of me
Me as a Teacher
I'm a teacher at heart. Whatever i do, i teach. Whether that be building a puzzle with my children or asking my husband to wash the dishes (but that one doesn't always go down so well). I love getting to the core of things and communicating that to others. Therefore my approach is that of believing in you, respecting your efforts and helping you stay motivated to get better and better with your skills every day. I would describe my approach as student-led. You decide where you want to be and I show you ways to get there efficiently.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are built on the principle revise-introduce-ensure. I believe in structure as it creates stepping stones for you to grow on what you've learnt in the previous lesson. Every language learning must be practical, as language is made to communicate and not to sit in a dusty Grammar book. Therefore every lesson begins with a warm up, which will be relevant to your level, but will surely tune you into the lesson ahead. Then, we revise what we have studied previously, after which new material can come. And then we ensure until you are as easy with the material as a surfer riding a wave!

Прекрасный преподаватель. Я очень рада нашим занятиям. Лилия очень хорошо и терпеливо обьясняет, занятие проходит очень комфортно. Это очень важно, особенно когда ты стесняешься и не уверен в себе)

I really enjoyed her lesson! I remembered the Russian script a little, but she taught me Russian script and pronunciation from scratch. I will try to keep going to take her lesson.
