Hi there, I'm Sam from South Africa. I am a tutor with a 120-hour TEFL certification and a diploma in Law. 🎓 I love meeting new people from all walks of life 🤗. I am unafraid to take on challenges and push myself to learn and grow. I believe that stepping out of our comfort zone is where real progress and development happen. Currently, I'm learning Spanish because I dream of traveling one day🛫🌍. I enjoy spending my free time trying out new recipes in the kitchen and diving into a good book. I'm also teaching myself how to code and, I am proficient in Responsive Web Design. I look forward to sharing my passion for learning and exploring with you!😊🤗

My lessons & teaching style

In my online lessons, I am kind, patient and enthusiastic. My lessons are customized based on each student's learning pace, preferences and ensure personalized learning experiences. In my class, I use participative teaching, where I involve students in activities and I create real-world learning experiences, case studies, and hands-on activities to enhance understanding and application of concepts. I engage students through interactive activities, discussions, and multimedia resources. I combine online resources, such as videos and interactive tools, with traditional teaching methods to create balanced and a holistic learning experience.
