Hello! My name is Tia and I'm a qualified TEFL teacher from South Africa. I am currently studying for a Bachelor of Education in teaching English and Life Orientation. I am a native English speaker who enjoys learning other languages such as Spanish, Portuguese and Afrikaans. I am experienced in tutoring both conversational and general English. I have also tutored Biology. My dream is to one day travel the world while teaching English.
Me as a Teacher
I'm a friendly and open-minded tutor who will cater to your English goals. I enjoy talking about most topics and will go the extra mile to find out more about a topic or grammar point for you. My main aim as your tutor is to build on your accuracy, fluency, and confidence.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are student-centered, communicative, full of materials, and include lots of constructive feedback. During our 'Conversation Practice' lessons, we will discuss your favorite topics while practicing pronunciation, fluency, and building your confidence. However, during our 'General English' lessons we will focus on developing your skills (reading, writing, listening) and practicing your sub-skills (pronunciation, spelling, grammar). I mainly work with intermediate and advanced English students, but I can cater to beginner (A2) students as well. Please note, I do not teach children. 17 years old +

Tia is both, a wonderful talker and an attentive listener. On top of that, she is a smart, highly-eloquent and bold young woman who is ready to pursue her dreams. I'm pretty sure that she will be successful at everything she wants strongly enough. There is an awfull lot that one can be inspired by when in her presence. The best word that pops up in my head that describes her personality is authentic.

As always, 60 minutes flew by very quickly, super interesting and informative conversation. Thanks to Tia for being able to build a meaningful conversation on various topics and for being able to fully concentrate on the student and their needs when learning the language.

It was an amazing, fun class with grammar and conversational practice. We discussed the context where the modal verbs can be applied. Thank you so much, Tia! 😻
