Hi! I’m Shimei, your friendly, bilingual English coach from South Africa’s rainbow nation, where 11 languages shape our dynamic way of life. Fluent in English and Afrikaans, I specialize in helping professionals and students bridge the gap between textbook grammar and real-world confidence whether for exams, business, or everyday fluency. Since 2019, I’ve guided learners worldwide to speak naturally, think culturally, and laugh through the learning process. Let’s make English feel like second nature; one lively chat at a time!
