Certified TEFL tutor with 4 years of experience. 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. 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 and have tutored Biology. In South Africa we study British English in school and I have lived and worked in America so I have a range of knowledge between the two variants. Lastly, my dream is to one day travel the world while teaching English. 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 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 younger than 13.

Tia is an AMAZING teacher—always smiling, engaged, and professional. Her lessons are interesting and held in a very pleasant atmosphere. She is a native speaker from South Africa, BUT SHE SPEAKS WITH A BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR BRITISH ACCENT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN ENGLISH EFFECTIVELY AND WITH CONFIDENCE.

I have a great experience with Tia. Her communication is excellent, making the material very easy to understand. She is highly reliable and hardworking, staying fully present and focused throughout the entire lesson. I also liked how organized Tia is, she has already presented a solid plan for our future classes. Above all, her patience makes learning a stress-free experience. I highly recommend English with Tia to anyone.

I am absolutely delighted with my English teacher – working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. We’ve been learning together for many months now, and I can clearly see my progress – I speak more fluently and confidently. The lessons are always interesting, tailored to my needs, and conducted in a friendly, motivating atmosphere. She’s not only a great teacher but also a wonderful person who truly inspires me. 🌟

Tia is a wonderful teacher! She's not only intelligent and patient, but also a very kind, supportive, and easy-going person who is truly enjoyable to talk to. All our lessons were interesting and always adapted to my interests, so they never felt like boring school classes with the same boring topics. Because of that, my English improved so much and I don't feel awkward when talking with English speakers anymore. 💪 I've been studying with Tia for a little over two years (unbelievable!) and I'd be happy to continue, but I need to focus on learning another language. But if I ever decide to come back to English, I already know exactly who I'll go to study with - my favourite teacher and now also a friend! ❤️
