I am patient, kind and I put a great deal of effort into my lessons. Teaching is my passion and as your teacher, it is important to me for us to work together to reach your goals!
I am here to teach English to both children and adults :)

Grade 2 teacher and English Specialist TeacherAt Curro Hazeldean Primary school, I became the Grade 2 English Home Language Specialist Teacher for all the Curro Schools across South Africa. This entailed compiling the schools curriculum, assessments and rubrics. I also moderated other schools books and files to give guidance and make sure they are on track with the curriculum.
Teaching at Curro provided me opportunities to prepare for lessons and skills to teach and interact with children from 07:30 - 14:00
2020 - 2022
Grade 1 Teacher and Grade 1 LeaderI taught English at Reddford House The Hills to English Home Language students for 3 years. I was the Grade 1 Leader, which provided me with valuable management and interpersonal skills.
Teaching at this school amplified my creativity and provided me with online-teaching skills when we were required to work 100% online.

I'm delighted with my lessons with Michelle, it has been more than a year that I have a weekly lesson to keep on track with my English. It's incredible how Michelle can connect with topics that are important and appealing at the same time. I never get bored talking with Michelle; you can talk about almost any subject with her. She is a great teacher and you can notice that she enjoys teaching and talking with people and children.
I want one day my little nephew to take a lesson with Michelle.
I absolutely recommend Michelle for warm and interesting English lessons!
