Hello! My name is Leisha. I am a professional online English teacher from South Africa with over 15 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 7 years.
When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me gardening, cooking or taking my dogs for walks along the beach.
I have a total of over 15 years experience in teaching English as a foreign language and am TEFL qualified.
From 2010-2017, I held teaching positions in China teaching spoken English, academic writing skills, IELTS listening and IELTS speaking in universities and language institutes.
From 2018, I have been teaching students from around the world online. I am a very patient and approachable teacher.
I mainly teach comprehensive English (reading, writing, listening and speaking) from A0-C2 level.
I also teach IELTS speaking to those who are preparing to take the exam.
I love helping my students gain confidence in their speaking and seeing them progress in their language skills.
Whether you are new to the English language and are a total beginner, or whether you are looking to gain confidence with your conversation skills, or you are preparing to take your IELTS exam, I am here to work with you, at your pace, and in as much time as you need. My lessons will be designed specifically to your needs.

Leisha is one of the best English teachers I've ever met. During our conversation, she will notice and help correct every 'error' that I make. Also her humor and patience make every of our lessons enjoyable and unique experience.
