My name is Tandzile Mazibuko I speak American English as I did my primary school in American schools while living in Denmark and Switzerland. I am from Swaziland which is a country in southern Africa and am currently residing there. I speak fluent English and siSwati which are the two official languages in Swaziland. I am a fun and enthusiastic person who enjoys reading, sketching, and watching series. I developed my interest and appreciation for languages during my university studies in South Africa, a nation that has 12 official languages.
Me as a Teacher
My appreciation for language is what has inspired me to become an English teacher. I am a communicative teacher where I encourage my students to speak to me as though they were speaking to a friend for them to develop the ability to communicate naturally in the English language. I believe that students flourish more when they learn without pressure that is why creating a comfortable environment for the student to practice their speaking is important to me.
My lessons & teaching style
I create my own teaching materials according to the students' needs and interests such as finding interesting articles that we can discuss, as well as making use of interactive games such as charades. My main goal is to improve the students' speaking skills and many of my lessons focus on conversation practice. I also give my students tips on how to practice their English beyond our sessions such as making use of audio, movies, and books. My main objective is to help my students reach their language goals as fast as possible, and that is what I believe makes me good teacher.

My daughter enjoyed the class a lot. The teacher has impeccable English with more of a US accent than a local one. Recommended.

It was just great. She's absolutely clear when pointing out the things to be worked on, and very patient to understand the difficulties the learner is facing. Thanks a lot!!
