Bio:
I'm an attentive and patient teacher who is passionate about giving my students the best learning experience. My lessons are adapted to my students in order for them to learn while having fun. With my open door policy, I encourage my students to ask questions, use their imagination and participate in the discussions. I believe that having fun in a classroom helps them build their confidence and to learn & grow.
My teaching methodology:
My classes are fun, interactive, and supportive. I want students to feel comfortable learning English and confident speaking in class. I use a variety of materials and activities, including: Pictures and visual aids Reading materials and stories Games and quizzes Role-play and conversation practice Music and videos Real-life examples and objects (realia) I provide regular feedback to help students improve and track their progress. My goal is to create a positive learning environment where students enjoy learning and feel motivated to succeed.
My teaching background:
Since 2019, I have been involved in teaching. I tutored school kids with their English - helping them with their grammar and pronunciation. Teaching kids is always fun as they bring their own personality into the classroom - this helps them learn faster. When teaching children, I use fun songs and many pictures so that the lessons are always fun and interactive. I also taught in a classroom at an English school in Cape Town where the students ranged from ages 19 - 40 years old. I was able to improve their listening skills and expanded their vocabulary by including video content and questions & answers.
My background outside of teaching:
With a strong background in digital marketing and e-commerce, I bring real-world English into every lesson. I also hold a degree in Linguistics and Philosophy, which deepens my understanding of language and communication. My experience has sharpened my communication, problem-solving, and strategic thinking skills, allowing me to break down complex ideas into simple, practical language. Alongside my corporate career, I gained valuable experience tutoring and supporting learners, helping them build confidence in speaking and understanding English. I create a relaxed, supportive environment and tailor each lesson to suit different learning styles, using interactive and practical methods to keep learning engaging and relevant.
