About Me

italki teacher since Nov 2, 2021

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.
