About Me
italki teacher since Dec 2, 2021InterestsTravelTechFashion & BeautyMedical & HealthcareFood
My name is Awethu, also known as Hope. I am a native English speaker from South Africa. I've always been interested in linguistics, and teaching English Language Arts is a passion of mine. I currently hold a Master's degree in Christian Theology, and am studying Psychology. I'm also a qualified counsellor, specialising in HIV/AID counselling and management.
I enjoy reading educational non-fiction books about the IoT (Internet of Things), especially about the advancement of AI. I also enjoy reading books about human and social sciences, psychology, philosophy, history and religion. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking (especially Italian cuisine) and baking, while listening to soothing music.Me as a Teacher
I am a TEFL-certified teacher. I am experienced in teaching English formally and informally (in townships where students struggle with studying in English at school), and I also have 5 years of experience in teaching English online as a foreign language.
As a theologian, I also teach biblical studies in English. My lessons & teaching style
I approach and teach English as a language art; an art of communication. Using creative techniques, I am able to assist students remember grammar rules with ease. I focus on helping intermediate English speakers advance to a level of fluency. I pay close attention to accent, vocabulary and word pronunciation. I structure my classes in such a way that they are informative yet give the student sufficient time to apply what is learnt through practical class exercises. 50% of my lessons are conversational, 25% is reading and 25% writing. This variety ensures holistic English learning and promotes accuracy.My teaching material
