Hey there! I’m Sandra (SAN-druh), a lively ESL teacher from South Africa with 4 years of experience helping students master conversational English, test prep (IELTS/TOEIC), and business communication. Fluent in Tswana and passionate about cultures, I blend travel stories and real-world examples into lessons to make learning feel like a global adventure!
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me gaming, hiking, or brainstorming creative ways to turn language hurdles into victories—because confidence starts with a smile (and yes, mine’s been called room-lighting!). Let’s make English feel effortless and fun!

Me as a Teacher

I specialize in Business English for adults who want to improve communication at work—emails, meetings, and presentations. With kids, lessons are fun, interactive, and age-appropriate. If you want to enjoy learning and use English in real life, I’m here to help!!
