About Me
italki teacher since Jul 24, 2017InterestsTravelMedical & HealthcareFood
Hello! I'm Rumbi! I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, but grew up and lived in England and Sweden for a total of 12 years. I really enjoy teaching English online as it allows me to meet many interesting people from different countries and also learn more about cultures. I also love learning languages and speak some Swedish,German and currently working on my Italian and Portuguese.
I love swimming, cooking, watching documentaries, culture and languages, food, nature, animals and travelling. I have travelled mostly in Europe, Africa and Asia, but would also love to have experiences in other continents:-)
I have a cute dog named Bruno who is a Rottweiler and Doberman mix:-)
Speak soon:-))Me as a Teacher
I am a fully certified TEFL teacher, holding an Advanced level 5 Diploma which is equivalent to a CELTA. I also have experience guiding students with test preparation which i hold certification and have been teaching since 2017 producing good results!
I have experience teaching students of all ages,levels and backgrounds, I love to motivate my students and make learning a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I always aim to make my classes comfortable and give my students the opportunity to express themselves and have more talk time, so they can build confidence and get to improve their speaking skills. I try to make my lessons practical, as well as personalizing them to each student. My lessons & teaching style
I always try to make lessons fun, as well as relevant to your interests and needs, as well as to build a trusting friendly yet professional relationship with my students:-)
I tend to have conversation-based lessons, test preparation classes(IELTS/CAE etc), with most of my students making huge improvements:-) I use my professional background in dentistry and health to help those preparing for OET exams.
I can also teach grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and can provide reading/listening lessons if required using various teaching methodologies. A needs analysis is always conducted for those looking to take Business English classes to improve their skills.
Hope to see you soon:-)My teaching material

I have had the pleasure of learning from Rumbi as my OET teacher, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She is incredibly supportive, always encouraging me to do my best, and her positive attitude has been a great source of motivation for me. If you're looking for an OET teacher who genuinely cares about your success, Rumbi is the one!
