🌻Friendly, professional teacher! 🌻 Feel comfortable and relaxed speaking English! | A2-C2 | If you want to increase your English vocabulary and fluency and you already know a little bit of English – even just a few words, I can help you! I will make you feel very comfortable and we will have a relaxed and fun lesson where you can increase your English skills and become more confident to speak better English. I am a patient and friendly person and love meeting people from all over the world. I live in South Africa but have also lived in Canada, USA, Australia and England. I have taught English to students in countries like Poland, China, Italy, France, Korea, Germany, Russia etc. I teach via conversation. I’ve taken basic courses in French & German and speak Afrikaans as a 2nd language in my own country. So, I know what it feels like to learn a new language! I like to keep things simple and teach one thing at a time until the student is very certain and confident, then teach something new. That way, we build upon knowledge, confidence and certainty. We will use a lot of real-life examples of things to expand vocabulary. We can role-play and practise conversations or different scenarios like job interviews or speaking English in social life, business or travel. I will help you to learn English in a natural, relaxed way. I have a Bachelor's in Economics, studied linguistics and am TESOL and TEFL certified. You are welcome to book a lesson so that I can help you with your English needs. Start your italki adventure today! I look forward to meeting you!

I’ve really enjoyed taking lessons with Terry. From the very beginning, I’ve felt completely comfortable and supported, and I truly feel that I’m learning in a positive and encouraging environment. She listens carefully to my goals and wishes. Every lesson feels well-balanced and inspiring to me. What I especially appreciate is that it never feels uncomfortable to make mistakes; instead, they become a natural and helpful part of the learning process. I always leave each lesson feeling motivated and more confident. Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching and your kind, thoughtful approach!

Today, Terry helped me for a job interview asking a lot of pertinent questions and giving me tips and feedback. I feel more prepared now.

I have been learning English with Terry for two years now. In the beginning, she helped me find the right words and gave me the confidence to speak. With her patience and skills, she always motivated me. Our lessons are full of positive energy. We read different articles, because I want to improve my pronunciation. The articles also give us topics to talk about and invite us to share ideas. That way, I have learned a lot. The lessons are never boring – they are always interesting and fun. Over time, we built a kind of friendship across the continent.
