I have been teaching English since 2022, working with students from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. Over the years, I have gained experience helping learners improve their conversational English, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and overall communication skills. I have taught students with different English proficiency levels and learning goals, including adults who want to communicate more confidently in professional and everyday situations. My teaching approach is patient, friendly, and adaptable, allowing me to tailor lessons to each student's individual needs, interests, and goals. I enjoy building a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident practicing their English and making progress at their own pace.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree and have a background in business and digital marketing, which is especially useful for students looking to improve their professional and business English. I am currently studying towards my PGCE. As a South African, I enjoy connecting with people from different cultures and learning about their experiences. I am patient, approachable, and adaptable, and I believe learning should be both practical and enjoyable. Outside teaching, I enjoy travelling, technology, music, and astronomy, which provide plenty of interesting topics for conversation practice.
