About Me
italki teacher since Nov 2, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesFoodReading
I am an actor and a certified English teacher from Cape Town, South Africa. I love nature and being outdoors - especially hiking and swimming. I am sincerely fascinated by different people and cultures. I try my best at all times and really value honesty and humour. It is one of life's great pleasures getting to know new people.Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for over 20 years in schools, for business and for fun. I have taught in South Africa, Taiwan and Russia and migrated to online teaching in early 2020. I have the best time with students who become friends and gain insights into the way that the world looks through their eyes. I am also qualified to teach OET.My lessons & teaching style
Learning must be an enjoyable experience. With me, you will feel comfortable chatting about any subject, but you will also learn grammar and useful practice of new vocabulary. Being an actor, I have wide experience working with voice and have helped hundreds of students to improve their pronunciation.
Every person is different - so there is no "one size fits all" approach to good language learning. I will get to know you and work out what will work best for you! I am patient and I have a strong work ethic.My teaching material

Even it was my first lesson with her, I really liked her energy. The lesson was too short to understand every aspect of her but she seems to have lot experience on OET exam. Thank you, I hope we can do some lessons again.

I strongly recommend Nicole as a teacher. She masters the tools to make you develop the skills needed to get a good result in the OET, specially in the speaking and writing parts. I really recommend her.
