My name is Essy. I am a 29-year-old project administrator living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am currently doing a course in Interior Architecture. I am fluent in English as well as 3 other South African languages, namely isiXhosa, isiZulu, and Sesotho. I have previous experience tutoring conversational and business English to both adults and children. I have an advanced diploma in teaching English as a foreign language as well as a diploma in Project Management. In my spare time, I do a bit of photography and read books. I am excited to make this experience as easy and fun as possible for you!Me as a Teacher
I am great at explaining things to people. I am extremely patient. I have the ability to laugh at myself. I like to see the best in people and have a very optimistic approach. If you are looking for a relaxed, and laid-back, yet organized tutor, please book your trial with me.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style can best be described as interactive, supportive, and transparent. I encourage my students to have a voice in the classroom, ask questions when they come up, and participate actively in all conversations regardless of their level of confidence.My teaching material

I met Essy for fist time and I can say: she is a fantastic teacher, spoke on easy way. We had a great class and conversation as well. It was a shame, the time has run out so fast.

It was my first trial in Italki, and Essy has been very pleasant. She has given some good tips to me, and she has been showing a smile throughout the class, thank you very much!
