Interest topicHistoryReadingMusic
My name is Ian and I am from Cape Town, South Africa. I am a professional language practitioner, with 12 years experience as a copy editor, translator and proofreader. I have a wide range of interests, and enjoy learning about other countries and cultures. I enjoy communicating with people, and it brings me great joy to be of service to others.
Me as a Teacher
I am kind and patient, with a deep understanding of the difficulties that come with learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons I will mostly focus on conversational English or Afrikaans. I believe that it is vitally important that the student gets as much time as possible to speak English or Afrikaans, and for that reason my role will mostly be to initiate conversation, correct any grammar or pronunciation mistakes, and enhance the student's vocabulary by covering as many topics of discussion as possible.

Dankie vir 'n goeie les, Ian. Ek voel skuldig om so baie terug te verval in Engels! Dankie vir jou geduld. Sien jou volgende keer.
