About Me

Interest topicHistoryReadingScience
I was born and grew up in sunny Cape Town, South Africa, moved to England where I stayed for ten years, and am now living in beautiful Portugal!
English and literature have always been a passion of mine, along with psychology, history, art, technology, and the natural sciences. I have been teaching online for two years now and am loving every minute of it!
Me as a Teacher
I am a skilled, friendly and open conversationalist who guides and teaches through exploring fun and exciting topics my students suggest we speak about. I put emphasis on understanding conversation, building confidence as a speaker and building vocabulary. I am certified in a 180 hour TEFL course and can help in all areas of English like grammar, pronunciation, spelling, listening, reading, and writing.
My lessons & teaching style
I am a student-centered teacher who encourages students to be the best student they can be and be confident in their approach to language and conversation. I believe it's more important to be a skilled conversationalist than it is to know one's grammar perfectly.

I started to take his class about half a year ago, and I became much more confident in speaking English with his help. He is well informed and his explanation is very clear. He is very flexible and supportive.

Wonderful lesson! He never comes late and teaches gently and patiently until I fully understand. Also what I like in his lesson is his flexibility. He listens to what I want and designs a lesson according to my needs.
