🌟 **Fun & Confident English for Kids!** 🌟
Hi, I’m Teacher Zama! 👋 A certified native English teacher specializing in **children’s language development**, with a creative twist from my journalism background. 📚✨
I help kids **speak, read, and write English joyfully**—through games, stories, and lively lessons that build **confidence** and make learning feel like play! 🎨🎤
Having learned languages myself, I know it’s easier when lessons are **warm, encouraging, and full of laughter**. Let’s make English your child’s superpower! 💪Me as a Teacher
✨As a teacher who teach children I really value my students and I love aligning myself with their overall goal.
✨My lessons are always lively, filled with enjoyable activities and most importantly my lessons are beneficial to my students.
✨I have experience teaching children of all ages and backgrounds, from complete beginners to advanced students.
✨I always aim to make my classes comfortable, easier and enjoyable to give students the opportunity to express themselves and have more talk time, so they can build confidence and get to improve their English skills. My lessons & teaching style
✨Our first lesson will focus on the student English goals and the creation of a specific plan to help you achieve those goals.
✨All lessons are tailored to meet the needs of each student and are presented in a manner that allows the students to feel comfortable, and express yourself.
✨Since I teach children I correct students on the spot, I do so gently and with great encouragement so that they don't feel discouraged by their level of knowledge.
✨To keep my students on track I prefer to set goals at the beginning of our encounter because these goals will help us stay on track and review our progress at a later stage.My teaching material
