Hello there! My name is Erica. I am 31 years old from South Africa. I am a certified TEFL English teacher and I hold a Bachelors Degree in Education from the University of Pretoria. I majored in English, Life Orientation and Physical Education. I am a friendly and patient person. I love travelling and meeting people from all over the world. I enjoy having fun and intellectual conversations with people. My hobbies include listening to music, swimming, playing sports such as tennis, bowling, skating, going out for walks and picnics.Me as a Teacher
I am a holder of a TEFL Certificate and I have a Bachelors Degree in Education and I majored in English, Life Orientation and Physical Education. I have 5 years teaching experience and 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 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
