About Me

italki teacher since Nov 12, 2020

Hello, I am Bernadette from South Africa. I currently live in Gordon's Bay, outside of Cape Town. I like reading, writing, travelling, meeting up with friends and running. I have lived in London and in Germany. It is interesting to meet people from all over the world.

Me as a Teacher

I have recently completed the 180 Hour TEFL Course. I have been teaching German online. When I lived in Germany, we learned that the best way to improve your language skills is to speak. Similarly as a teacher, I believe interacting and speaking a language improves confidence and builds vocabulary.

My lessons & teaching style

First of all I would ask the student his/her goals. Then we can plan the lessons ahead. I would suggest an activity like role play so students can interact in a fun way, set up different scenarios, like you are travelling and visiting another country. In this way you learn about the culture, vocabulary and get to know each other better. Quizzes can also be a fun way to learn.
