About Me
italki teacher since Mar 4, 2021
My name is Nicola and I live in South Africa. I au-paired in the Netherlands after my final year of High School. After I returned I studied hairdressing and worked in a salon for three years. I am currently working part-time in my home-based salon and tutoring on iTalki – Afrikaans and English. I love meeting new people and learning about their culture
My naam is Nicola en ek woon in Suid Afrika. Na skool het ek gaan au-pair in Nederland na my laaste jaar van Hoërskool. Na dit het ek Haarkappery begin studeer en vir drie jaar in ‘n salon gewerk. Tans werk ek deeltyds in my tuisgebaseerde salon en tutor op iTalki – Afrikaaans en Engels. Dit is vir my baie lekker om nuwe mense te ontmoet.
Me as a Teacher
I have a passion for language. I think it is such a great tool to universally connect people with each other.
My aim is to make learning languages fun! I strive to create lessons targeted specifically to each students needs and requirements. My teaching style is calm and motivating. I enjoy seeing improvement and growth in my students’ language learning.
Ek het ‘n passie vir tale. Ek dink dis ‘n fantastiese hulpmiddel om alle mense met mekaar te bind.
My doel is om lesse te skep wat spesifiek vir my student se vereistes gekep is. My onderrigstyl is kalm en motiverend. Ek geniet dit om verbetering in my student te sien.
My lessons & teaching style
I aim to create lessons / conversational practices suited to the needs of my students.
In my experience it is much easier to learn when something has a connection to your life, experiences and your surroundings.
I create lessons that have connections to what is relevant in your life, to better help you understand how languages can be beneficial to you.
Ek mik om lesse / gesprekke op te stel wat gepas is vir elke individuele student. In my ondervindingis dit baie makliker om iets te leer wanner dit ‘n konneksie aan jou lewe, ervarings en omgewing.
Ek stel lesse op wat relevant is vir jou, om jou beter te help verstaan hoe tale voordelig kan wees.

Thank you for sharing your Au Pair experiences with me! It was a lot more informational (and real) than I expected, which inspired me to do more research:)
