Hello!
My name is Jen and I've been an online ESL teacher for 8 amazing years. 👩🏼🏫
I'm a Johannesburg born South African 🇿🇦 living in the beautiful city of Pretoria. South Africa is known for it's rich cultural diversity and gorgeous landscapes, so put it on your travel bucket list if you enjoy exploration the way I do!
I love talking about food 🍕 and different cultural cuisine and since I began my teaching journey, I've grown a strong passion for travel and learning about other cultures, which has allowed me to meet some of my wonderful students!
📖 Reading is another hobby and I my best lessons are when we talk about different perspectives and experiences.Me as a Teacher
I'm a confidence focused teacher.
As English is taught around the world 🌍 most English students have a sufficient English foundation without the practice required to feel confident enough speaking the language.
But this does not mean there is no place for beginners in my classroom, throughout my career, I have taught students from beginner to Advanced, from the age of 6 to 76, every student is welcome!
I'm excited to hear your ideas and will support you with possible language and grammar if you get stuck.
My goal is to make you, as the student, feel comfortable to speak and to give you a safe, judgement free environment to experiment with what you know, and explore what you don't.My lessons & teaching style
Gain confidence in the classroom by speaking 🗣
I believe students learn more when they learn to experiment and think in English without interruption.
