About Me

Hello there! My name is Erica. I am 27 years old from South Africa. I am a certified TEFL English teacher and am currently doing my Bachelors in Education in University. I major in English and Psychology. I am a friendly and talkative person. I love travelling and meeting people from all over the world. I enjoy having fun conversations with people. My hobbies include reading,writing poetry, listening to music, singing, going out for walks and picnics.Me as a Teacher
I am a holder of a TEFL Certificate and I am studying my Bachelor of Education in English and Psychology. I have 5 years teaching experience and 2 years online teaching experience. I am friendly, polite, well mannered and very patient. I am a good listener as well as good at holding interesting conversations with students for a long time. My studies in English and Psychology have taught me how to interact with different people and how to use language effectively as a means of communication. My patience also helps students stay calm and encourages them to engage and learn English well. I allow learners to make mistakes and also help them reach their goals of learning English.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style includes conversations that my learners are interested in. I teach learners how to pronounce and speak English very well. I also specialize in English grammer. I use different channels to teach my students depending on how they would like to be taught. I prefer to get to know my students well and I come up with lesson plans to help my students achieve their goals perfectly and without hassles. I give learners chances to ask questions and also make mistakes as that is how they can learn better. My lessons focus on fulfilling the student's needs and to enhance their abilities in learning a new language. I am understanding and kind ,this makes my learners comfortable.My teaching material
