About Me
italki teacher since Nov 25, 2021
Hi there! My name is Sheryl from South Africa. I love teaching because I can help others improve their skills. It gives me joy and excitement to meet learners from around the world. In my class, I work with wonderful enthusiasm and positivity. I’m interested in many different topics, and I’m happy to focus on my learners’ goals. I am a very fun person. I play sport (Netball & Tennis), and I really like exploring new things, be it music, culture or food. I watch a lot of non-English dramas and documentaries to broaden my learning. I am patient and soft-hearted and I always give it my all. My motto in life is "Never dull your shine for somebody else".

Me as a Teacher
I am reliable conscientious and dedicated. I am open-minded and tolerant of all customs, values, and traditions. I am patient and polite and do not mind working through things in a caring encouraging way with students. I strive to be prompt and efficient in my teaching methods. I also like to remain approachable so my students can feel comfortable, My lessons are always lively, filled with enjoyable activities and most importantly my lessons are beneficial to my students. I use various teaching methodologies, props, flashcards, and a whiteboard to accomplish the desired goal.
My lessons & teaching style
I have a hybrid teaching style comprising both the Direct Method and Communicative Language Teaching. I use the Direct Method because students are more likely to pick up this language more on instinct. This method makes teaching more pleasant, and students find it easier to remember what they were taught. I combine this method with the Communicative Language Teaching method because this method encourages students to learn through problem-solving and actual participation. The two methods combined are the best way for me as they are both student-oriented and will help students improve on all four skills rather than focusing only on speaking.
