I describe myself as an enthusiastic and passionate person. The areas I care most about most are people, travel, self-development, and business and innovation. After completing my Honours degree in Business Finance and gaining experience in corporate banking, I decided to pursue a long-standing goal of teaching abroad. In 2017, I moved to Thailand, where I taught English and travelled across Asia. This experience became one of the most defining chapters of my life. I later studied in Canada and worked in a school environment, gaining further experience in education. I am currently based in South Africa and continue to teach online.
Me as a Teacher
Dedicated professional with over 14 years of experience teaching learners of different ages and backgrounds, both in person and online. Began my teaching journey in South Africa, offering one-on-one tutoring in English, Mathematics, Business Studies, and Economics , while also mentoring learners across Africa. Later gained international classroom experience teaching in Thailand. I have several years of online teaching experience with all ages. I specialize in English conversation ,business English, focusing on building confidence and fluency. I am TESOL trained and support learners interested in Business English, travel, and personal development topics.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is structured yet casual, fun, and patient. I give my students plenty of space to express themselves freely and confidently. I encourage them to keep trying, make mistakes, and learn from them, while developing independent thinking skills. I also believe in positive reinforcement and never miss an opportunity to give praise where it is deserved.
My lessons focus mainly on English conversation and communication. We use a free-talking approach supported by vocabulary practice, articles, blogs, videos, and worksheets. I remain flexible in my teaching to meet each student’s personal needs, learning style, and goals.
