About Me

italki teacher since Jul 27, 2020

My name is Mickey Cloete and I am a husband and father of two beautiful children. My son is autistic and he has taught me the value of patience and a fun learning environment when teaching new skills. I have travelled extensively when I was younger and my aim is to do a lot more traveling in future with my family. For now we are exploring the less-travelled corners of our own beautiful South Africa. Wherever I do go though, you will always find me with a book in my hand as I love reading. My hobbies include responsible off-roading with conservation as aim, as well as automotive art.

Me as a Teacher

Initially with a new student I would start off with general conversation in order to gauge your specific needs. Once we have determined those needs, with both your own and my input in the discussions I will progress to more structured lesson plans. I am patient, helpful and friendly with a wicked sense of humour... I am not overly sensitive to criticism from students, which makes it a lot easier for students to be comfortable in indicating their personal requirements for learning from me – in fact I aim to learn as much from my students as they learn from me.

My lessons & teaching style

My aim is to get you to be confident in the use of your new language. It is much easier to absorb the finer structures of a language when you are comfortable in your own usage of the language. The most effective way to learn a new language is to be immersed in that language and to actively participate in the use thereof, no matter your initial skill level. Therefor we will at first spend a lot of time in simple conversation on fun topics in the target language, with you as student doing most of the talking while I guide and facilitate your use of the language. As we progress I will introduce more formally structured lessons according to your individual need.
