About Me
italki teacher since Nov 1, 2019InterestsReadingWritingHistory
Hi, my name is Gert Prins, and I'm from South Africa. My hobbies include reading books, playing the guitar, going hiking, and listening to music. I have a strong interest in history and different cultures. Currently I'm trying to master Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I'm an experienced TEFL certified English teacher. With more than six years of teaching experience, I'm here to help you reach the next level. I've taught from beginner to advanced. I'm patient and a good listener. I have a great love for the English language and I hope to inspire it in my students as well.My lessons & teaching style
I prefer lessons that utilize a mix of skills, such as listening and speaking, or even reading and writing (although via iTalki I will mostly be focusing on the oral communication aspect). Lessons will be well thought-out as well as tailored to your learning needs. We can focus on grammar, vocabulary, test prep, or even a simple conversation. I prefer being prepared, and I hardly ever give additional homework - however, if you're the studious type, I will be glad to give you some tasks to do at your leisure to help you improve and reach your goals. I like for lessons to be a mix between practicing grammar points and having brief conversations.My teaching material

Gert is an incredible teacher. After a few lessons with him, I begin to realize that my confidence has increased and it is easier to present my arguments in a conversation.

This dude has spent so much time outside of class helping me attain fluency and clear up difficulties. He is a very chill guy to talk to, which is extremely important for developing conversation skills naturally and comfortably. Baie Dankie bro!
