Intensive courses available: bump up your level in 40 hours.
I grew up in the English countryside & lived in Spain for 10 years before relocating to South Africa. I have a 15-year-old son & economist husband. I have many wild birds in my garden waiting to be fed at sunrise & often see a troop of wild baboons passing by.
I like walking my Malamute & German Shephard dogs, watching the sunrise & sunset, dabbling at gardening, keeping abreast of current affairs, exploring cultures, cuisines, landscapes & meeting people. Hence, my interest in sociology & love for teaching English.Me as a Teacher
I put you at ease, quickly identify weaknesses, give helpful advice, great materials for self-study and have all the competencies expected of the best of teachers. Clients say I'm sophisticated, kind, super nice, compassionate, encouraging, nurturing, positive and culturally aware.
I'm a Native British Speaker with Received Pronunciation.
