Hello! I’m Savannah—a native British English speaker with a warm South African twist and 6 years of online teaching expertise. Specializing in *real-world conversational English for adults*, I help you navigate travel banter, nail job interviews, or chat confidently in daily life—all with a fun, practical twist!
As a TEFL-certified tutor (and soon-to-be Education graduate), I mix structure with lively energy to make every lesson feel comfortable and engaging. Whether you’re learning idioms, prepping for TOEFL, or just needing fluency, I’ll equip you with the *phrases and cultural nuances* that textbooks miss.
Let’s make English feel effortless—one authentic conversation at a time!

Me as a Teacher
My teaching style is fun, motivating and i strive to achieve! I focus on Grammar and Pronunciation. I am eager and patient to teach adults and children!
Language and teaching is my passion! I do not see teaching as a job rather an amazing opportunity to help others grow and learn.
I am TEFL accredited, and i am studying towards my Degree in Education. I enjoy having fun while teaching and engaging students with props or visual aids.

Savannah is a wonderful teacher. I appreciate the way she naturally fills the gaps in our conversations when I’m unsure how to keep things going. She creates a comfortable atmosphere that makes it easier for me to participate and improve
