About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesEnvironment & NatureReadingPets & AnimalsTravel
I come from South Africa. I am a native speaker with a passion for teaching and assisting students to improve their conversational and language skills. I hold a Bachelors degree, majoring in English studies. I also have a Post-graduate Teaching qualification. I have 25 years experience, teaching high school and tutoring university students. I have a sunny disposition. I am hard working, patient and enjoy seeing people achieve their full potential. I have a great appreciation for nature and the arts. I enjoy reading and music. People fascinate me.Me as a Teacher
I regard every student as a unique individual with his or her specific needs, skills and potential. It gives me much satisfaction to see the fruits of my labour. Being patient is crucial to developing a relationship with my students. Having a sense of humour is important. Having taught in a multi-cultural and diverse country, has equipped me to adapt to vatious nationalities and cultures. Positive reinforcement and feedback is applied thus motivating the students and maintaining their interest.My lessons & teaching style
Forming a personal relationship with my students is paramount. This I do by asking many questions about themselves such as where they live, their interests, their goals and what form they would like the lesson to take. They have the oppertunity to ask about my interests and experiences. Would they like to only practice pronunciation or would they like me to assist them with language aspects, such as grammar, vocabulary building, sentence construction spelling. Repetition and practice is of prime importance. By applying patience and positive reinforcement and feedback, I inspire and motivate students to be able to converse in real life situations.Education
