Hi! Iām Vanessa, a certified English tutor from South Africa. With 2 years of experience, I specialise in helping beginners and intermediates build confidence through fun, conversational lessons. When Iām not teaching, youāll find me cooking new recipes or practising yoga, both of which teach patience and creativity, just like language learning. Letās make English feel easy and enjoyable together!Me as a Teacher
As a tutor, I believe in creating a warm, supportive, and encouraging environment where students feel confident to learn and express themselves. I understand that every student is unique, so I tailor my lessons to suit your learning style, goals, and pace.
I focus on making lessons interactive and practical, whether we're working on conversation skills, grammar, or interview preparation. My goal is to help you not only improve your English but also enjoy the learning process along the way.
Iām patient, passionate about teaching, and always happy to answer questions. Let's learn together and make progress one step at a time! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are student-focused, interactive, and relaxed. I believe that learning should be enjoyable, so I create a comfortable space where you feel confident to speak, make mistakes, and grow.
I tailor each lesson to your individual needs, whether you want to improve your conversation skills, prepare for a job interview, or build a strong grammar foundation. I use real-life topics, fun activities, and open conversation to keep lessons engaging and practical.
Iām patient, encouraging, and always open to feedback so we can make the lessons work best for you. Letās learn in a way thatās effective, supportive, and most importantly, fun!My teaching material
