Living in Johannesburg, South Africa

I hold a university degree as well as a TEFL diploma - with over six years of teaching experience. On a personal note I live in South Africa and have been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively with my husband. I am a mother of three grown up children who have degrees and are now all working. I am truly passionate about education and helping people grow. I come from a teaching background and majored in English and Psychology at University. I also have a TEFL 300hr Certificate which is for General on-line and Business English training. Together we can establish what your desired learning outcomes are and how we can reach those. Having certified as a TEFL teacher I am able to use my skills to accurately assess the level of a potential student as well as the needs and aims they have. I prefer to teach using the PPP style as it allows for a careful and thorough flow throughout a lesson. I am however, of the belief that lessons should be flexible and adjust according to the situation at hand. A conversational style with the intention to extend your vocabulary may work best for you. There are many ways to create a 'lesson' that involves you and helps you to benefit. Once you schedule a lesson with me we can work out what works for you!

This was my first lesson with Karen and definitely not the last one :) Karen is a very kind and patient person. Her pronunciation is great and easy to understand. We talk a while about us, our countries, and the current world situation. After that Karen gave me nice feedback and then we planed the next step in my learning path. Thanks, Karen!
