I am Rukencia, a dedicated and qualified English educator based in Pretoria, South Africa. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Education (Foundation Phase) and a 120-hour TEFL certification, I bring 8 years of specialized experience in online English instruction. My expertise lies in fostering conversational fluency and instilling confidence in learners of all levels, from beginners to young students seeking engaging lessons. With a natural ability to create a comfortable learning environment, I prioritize making language acquisition both enjoyable and effective. Outside the classroom, I balance my passion for education with family time, outdoor adventures, and cultural exploration—reflecting theMe as a Teacher
I have a passion for teaching ESL and a passion to meet new people. I focus more on my students and their interest. I listen to my students clearly and help them where needed. I do change my teaching style here and there, it depends on my student to make sure that they have a great lesson.My lessons & teaching style
it is very important for me for my students to enjoy my lessons. My teaching style is centered around making my student as comfortable as possible. Conversation and communication are key! I do prepare my lessons before time to make sure that the lesson runs smoothly. I make sure my students understand before I move forward and love to ask questions to make sure they do understand. I maintain a safe and comfortable space in my classes.My teaching material

Kelly was great with my 12 years old doughter. She motivated her and adapted to her level of knowledge. We will continue the courses.
