Bio:

I am a level 5 TEFL teacher from South Africa. I have been teaching people English since 2016. I encourage my students, support them, and guide them through all lessons, allowing them to actively participate by using role play activities, fun worksheets and other exercises aimed at the student's level. I embrace technology, using it to add variety to lessons. My students are treated with cultural respect and are made to feel comfortable to learn at their own pace.

My teaching methodology:

My teaching background:

Since 2016 I have been the Head of Training at a company called Secondary English Services. SES upskills members of the Security Industry in South Africa in English, so that the members can communicate fluently in English with clients, members of the public and each other (English being a universal language used between cultures). I am responsible for the creation of all course material and oversee three trainers in the company.

My background outside of teaching:

I am a very curious person and enjoy learning new things and meeting people from all different cultures. I have recently started reading Manga, but find it weird to read backwards! LOL! I'm a naturally chatty person, enjoying time with with my friends, talking about books, Lego or J/K horror movies.
