Hi! I’m Mbali, a qualified English teacher from South Africa with a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood Development and Foundation Phase. I enjoy creating a supportive learning space where learners feel comfortable, motivated, and confident using English.
I teach both adults and children, and I adapt my lessons to suit each learner’s goals. This may include building conversational fluency, improving pronunciation, preparing for exams, or developing professional communication skills. Lessons are practical, structured, and designed to help learners use English naturally in real situations.
I focus on creating a safe and encouraging environment where learners feel confident expressing themselves in English. My teaching style is practical, interactive, and tailored to individual goals, whether the focus is everyday communication, workplace English, or exam preparation.
For children, lessons include engaging activities such as games, songs, stories, and visual materials. These methods help develop confidence, listening skills, speaking ability, and early reading foundations in an enjoyable way.
For adults, lessons focus on practical, real-world English. This may include conversational fluency, IELTS preparation, or professional communication. Business English lessons cover key workplace skills such as meetings, presentations, and written communication.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2024 - 2025
Language Trainerdelivered engaging and effective Business English courses to a diverse group of professionals, including executives, managers, and sales teams. I implemented a customised curriculum tailored to each learner’s specific needs and industry requirements. By using a variety of teaching methodologies, such as interactive exercises, role-plays, and case studies, I enhanced language acquisition and real-world application.
2021 - 2024
TeacherI implemented creative strategies to foster curiosity for complex principles through hands-on learning and thoughtfully planned activities. I designed and planned over 50 individualised education plans (IEPs), along with interactive class curricula, lessons, and handouts, ensuring that learning objectives and expectations were personalised. I taught ESL to more than 100 students from diverse cultural backgrounds, enhancing their learning and confidence in speaking.

Work Experience
2023 - 2024
AssessorI worked extensively with AI tools, as nearly all tasks were computer-aided, including pre-marking discussions, marking, and meetings with colleagues. My role involved e-learning, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and record management. I enhanced students’ learning experiences by providing constructive, relevant, and in-depth feedback, ensuring it encouraged reflection and motivated them to take action based on their assessment outcomes.
