Good day, my name is Veronica, and I used to live in London, in the United Kingdom. Since 2008, I've been based in Cape Town, South Africa. I am an English native speaker. I have over 12 years of experience as a TEFL certified teacher. I have a diploma in English, and I enjoy discussing current events, history, books, television series, and business matters. I enjoy expanding my knowledge by learning new things.
I've traveled to South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and a few other places.
Social media management and other forms of digital marketing, as well as cycling and camping, are some of my favorite pastimes.
Me as a Teacher
For a few years, I've had my Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification, as well as a Diploma in English Language and Literature, and I've been teaching 6 to 18-year-olds at private institutes for more than 18 years. Adult students, from beginners to advanced, can benefit from private sessions to improve their grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills. We also focus on BUSINESS ENGLISH to improve your Communication Skills in the Workplace or Business... And to prepare you to work in any English speaking country. I have always enjoyed all aspects of teaching and love seeing students improve their lives and progress further.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to start with basic terms and sentences that you see or use on a daily basis; for example, bodily parts, animals, places, things, actions, and so on. We will plan lessons in the future to suit the needs of the students, based on their level. I occasionally assign homework, and I provide comments at the end of each lesson. I use flashcards, novels, and activity sheets, and I make each class enjoyable, fascinating, and relaxing.
For advanced students, I will discuss hobbies and interests with which we can have a dialogue and progress as we go forward, and we will use advanced Oxford and other relevant English literature as needed.

Veronica is an excellent teacher.
She responds to the needs of her students, is flexible in discussing topics, and encourages them with her friendly manner. At the same time, she creates a familiar and pleasant atmosphere. In her lessons, she deliberately focuses on the mistakes made by her students, thus ensuring improvement in their use of the language :-)
It's no surprise that Veronica has become my regular teacher :-) Great job!
