Dumela, my name is Phemo I am from Botswana. I am passionate about teaching Setswana language. I love Setswana and I would like to teach you this beautiful language spoken in Botswana and South Africa.
I love writing Setswana novels, currently I have 3 published Setswana novels, therefore I am very good at reading and editing Setswana essays and compositions for Setswana students.
I am a numbers person , I hold a Masters degree in Professional Accounting and I am also a Chartered Accountant.
I have retired from my professional work as a Non-Financial Institutions Regulator and I am currently enjoying farming and travelling

Me as a Teacher
I am a loyal and honest person, always punctual and very patient. I understand that learning a language is not easy especially when it comes to pronouncing words. I would help you with the pronunciation skills and teach you new vocabulary so that you speak beautiful Setswana.
I am friendly and have sense of humour therefore having fun when learning gives me the satisfaction that the students enjoys the lessons and this will develop passion to learn and grow.
I enjoy teaching both children and adults.
I allow my students to express themselves without fear of being judged. They are allowed to make mistakes and the mistakes are corrected with love
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that each student is different and I like to adapt my teaching style based on the student needs. Classes are customised based on the students needs.
If the student wants only to practice speaking Setswana we concentrate on having conversations. I listen to the student weaknesses and we focus on improving until the student masters the concept they struggle with.
Basically my teaching style is a free style.
Phemo has helped me tremendously with learning Setswana. I really appreciate how she tailors her lessons to my personal needs and preferences. Phemo is a very supportive teacher.

Great lesson - a fantastic intro to Tswana, which is exactly what I wanted - well tailored to the subjects I was interested in.

Phemo is very encouraging. I was someone who was afraid I would make a fool of myself learning a new language. But straight away she put me at ease and made it such a fun and enjoyable experience while also pushing me. I would highly recommend her.
