Hello students, My name is teacher Macnolia and I am from Johannesburg South Africa. I am a qualified microbiologist and I have been teaching english online for over a year.
I an avid fan of movies, music and books and I am well versed in various scientific topics. I love learning about different cultures and countries. I particularly enjoy learning about foods from different cultures. My favourite foods are burgers and fries. My favourite traditional South african food is amaDombolo ( which is steamed bread) served with beef stew and vegetables.Me as a Teacher
I believe in creating a calm, positive and relaxed environment for students to learn in. My lessons are student centered, which means I encourage my students to talk for the majority of the lesson. I guide the conversation with comments, questions and affirming reaction.
I challenge my students based on their skill level and I am always looking for ways to help them improve. I inspire them to never give up on their language learning skills, even if it gets tough, I will be there to guide them every step of the way. My lessons & teaching style

I believe mistakes are an opportunity to learn. It is okay to make them with me. I am here to help learn from them. I am also here to build up your confidence in speaking the language. It is okay even if you are a total beginner. We all start somewhere.
I also encourage my students to read a lot English. I want my students to be able to read in English and also be able to understand what they are reading.My teaching material

It's a great lesson with Teacher Macnolia. She's very supportive, kind, well prepared, and apart from that good listener. She made me felt comfortable when talking with her even it's the first lesson and I so much enjoyed it, also before the lesson ended she gave me some comments about my English speaking skills and I love it a lot. Thank you😊.
