Bio:
Hi! My name is Candace, I am a Native English Speaker from South Africa. I am an outgoing person who enjoys trying new things. I live in Hong Kong where I have been working full-time teaching English since 2016. I am a qualified early years teacher, TEFL certified, and am a Registered Teacher in Hong Kong. I have experience teaching children and adults of different ages in various settings.
My teaching methodology:
My teaching background:
I have worked as a Native English Teacher since 2016. I gained experience teaching full-time in language school and in both local and international schools in Hong Kong, teaching children of various ages but mostly specialising in children aged 3-6 years old. During that time, I also conducted private one-on-one lessons in person and online for children and adults. I have experience teaching general English, Jolly Phonics, Cambridge Young Learners (YLE) exam preparation for young learners aged 3-6 years old as well as conversational English and comprehension to adults at beginner level or those who just want to practice and develop their communication skills.
My background outside of teaching:
I am originally from South Africa, where before becoming a teacher, I worked in the legal profession. I have always loved travelling and spent a month travelling around Europe when I finished high school. A trip to Thailand 7 years later prompted me to make a career change and move to Asia to further pursue my love for travelling, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. Having now lived in Hong Kong for over 7 years, together with my experience both in the legal and teaching professions, has developed my skills to easily communicate and connect with people of various ages and backgrounds.
