Hello! My name is Leisha. I am a professional online English teacher from South Africa with over 14 years of teaching experience. I am a native English speaker and TEFL certified. I taught English in China for 8 years at university level and have been teaching online for the past 6 years.
Outside the classroom, I'm an avid cook, gardener, and animal lover, having rescued five pets during my time in Asia.Me as a Teacher

Leisha, a fantastic teacher!!! She has a very interesting and insightful approach to teaching.
With her help, my speaking has improved a lot, especially in grammar and pronunciation. In my latest ielts exam, my speaking score improved from 5.5/6 to 6.5!!! 🥳
In addition, she is a very friendly and lovely teacher, and it is always a pleasure to chat with her, and she often encourages me so that I can feel more confident in my speaking.
I really enjoy leisha's classes! 🥰🥰🥰
