About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2021InterestsFoodWritingBusiness & FinanceMedical & HealthcareTravel
Hello! My name is Londeka Zulu but most of my students call me teacher Tiny. I'm an experienced TEFL-certified ESL teacher and counselling psychology intern with a passion for helping individuals grow in both language and confidence. With over 6 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of teaching students from around the world. This global experience has helped me develop a culturally sensitive, student-centered teaching style that adapts to each learner’s goals and personality.
I specialize in conversational English, grammar, pronunciation, and academic or professional language development. In addition to teaching English, I also tutor Psychology, Criminology, and Sociology.Me as a Teacher
I offer personalized, one-on-one lessons that are tailored to your individual learning goals, level, and interests. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, I’ll work with you to create a learning plan that suits your pace and helps you build confidence.
For ESL learners, I focus on practical communication—speaking, listening, reading, and writing along with pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary development. I also assist students with interview preparations through role play and corrections on how to answer questions. Lessons are interactive, engaging, and can include real-life materials such as videos, articles, and conversation practice. My lessons & teaching style
Students should expect lessons that are customized to their individual interests and goals. My teaching approach follows a conversational style driven by the students interests, goals, and anything comfortable or appropriate to teach. I use TPR (Total Physical Response) as a teaching method aimed at helping students understand spoken words by linking it with physical movement. Students may request particular topics to form the basis of lessons.My teaching material
