Hi! I’m Stefan, a passionate language tutor from South Africa’s scenic Stellenbosch. With 7+ years of teaching English and Afrikaans, I specialise in lively, conversation-driven lessons—think philosophy, music, poetry, and art woven into learning! I'm also completing my MA degree in Philosophy. When I’m not teaching or studying, you’ll find me hiking or scribbling poems. Let’s make language feel as natural as chatting with a friend.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have occupied a teaching role for numerous years and run an educational company in South Africa alongside my Media Company. I am passionate about efficiency and finding the best ways to receive the best results with less effort. I have spent many hours learning foreign languages myself, so I can relate to your journey and help you find the most efficient ways to acquire your chosen language as this is something very important for me in my personal life too. I believe that having fun is the best way to acquire any skill so I strive to create an environment where you can learn your chosen language in the most fun way possible.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching style is informal and focuses on creating a relaxed environment where you feel free to make mistakes and learn. We will mostly focus on having conversations and speaking as much as possible as this is the best way to acquire any language. In our lessons, we will make sure to address your goals and aspirations so that I can adjust the lessons according to your specific needs. And finally, I will make sure that we have fun in the process.

Stefan is a phenomenal teacher! He is leading me from zero Afrikaans into the wilds of conversation with patience, skill, and joy. I'm motivated to study each week because I look forward to our lessons so much, which is the accountability I had been missing before I started with italki. Great teacher, exceptional person, cannot recommend highly enough!

I felt at home with Stefan! He's such a good teacher, I love his positive energy and the way he tries to make you feel at ease. Learning English with him it will be a pleasure also because he likes the same things: music, travels, jokes... He taught me many different things about culture, movies and places in your country. I can definitely recommend him and can't wait to book the next lesson

I had a great first lesson with Stephan. Although there were some technical issues on my side, we sorted them out and continued the lesson with no further problems. All went well overall and I enjoyed the overall vibe and enthusiasm from Stephan
