My name is Haylé Parker. I live in South Africa and am currently doing my Bachelors degree in Language and Culture at the University of Stellenbosch. I have a passion for languages and a love for teaching. I’m currently studying German and Chinese at university and enjoy learning other languages in my free time as well, so I fully understand the struggle of foreign language learning and can help find the best way that works for you.
I have two years formal teaching experience in English and my students always have great results.

Me as a Teacher
I believe that understanding what you say is more important than how much you can say. My focus is in making sure that my students are fluent more than anything. In my lessons, we will work on making sure that you have a good speaking, reading and listening comprehension as well as an extensive vocabulary.
My qualifications are as follows : I hold a TEFL and TEFL practical certificates. Teaching is really a passionate experience.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are interactive, and involve praise for achievements. Questions are asked to provoke thinking, reasoning and appropriate responses from students. The first lesson will be used to accurately determine the student's ability and proficiency. From there a tailor made teaching plan and program will be set up.
If you are not present for the first 15 minutes of the lesson the lesson will be confirmed as complete, and payment for the lesson is due. If you won't be able to make it for a lesson, it is your responsibility to contact me at least two hours before the lesson for alternative arrangements.
