About Me
italki teacher since Apr 17, 2020InterestsMedical & HealthcareMusicFilms & TV SeriesPets & AnimalsTravel
My name is Marisha, I am a native English speaker from South Africa. I have been teaching English online for about nine years.
I am qualified to teach:
* Young children (4 - 18 years)
* Adults of all ages
* 1-1 classes
* Group classes
I have completed my TEFL, TEYL, and IETLS certificates and I am currently completing my bachelor's degree majoring in Linguistics and Portuguese. So I too know how difficult it is to learn a new language.
NB! Please inquire about available times for regular classes as the schedule provided on my calendar is mostly for trial lessons.

During our structured lessons, we will discuss a topic based on a set of materials that I have selected for your level. There will be vocabulary, a text/video, activities, and comprehension activity. After the set of 10 lessons in the package we can carry on with these topic-structured lessons or we can have textbook-based grammar lessons.
During our conversational classes, we can talk about anything you would like, topics that interest and benefit you, and vocabulary you will use in your daily life. Whether you are an adult looking to practice and learn or a child starting out in the English-speaking world, I will work very hard to keep you motivated and showing progress.My lessons & teaching style
Before our class or during your trial lesson we can discuss the goals you would like to reach and the achievements you would like to accomplish. I am here to help you with whatever assistance you need.
I use videos, real-life news articles, textbooks, and an interactive whiteboard during my classes to make my lessons as interesting and engaging students as possible. I think that lessons and learning should always be enjoyable.
As my teaching style is goal-oriented, I supplement my lessons with carefully selected learning materials to suit your needs.My teaching material
