Hello! I'm an English teacher, entrepreneur and aspiring yogi from sunny South Africa. When I'm not behind my computer, you will find me in the kitchen, on a hiking trail or working on yet another creative project. I love connecting with people and I've taught hundreds of students from all walks of life. Currently I'm a student of alternative healing and psychology.
Me as a Teacher
My students and friends describe me as fun-loving, passionate, dynamic and easy to talk to. When it comes to learning a new language, I believe a conversational approach is best. Growing up in a diverse country like South Africa has allowed me to connect with people across all levels. I take great pride in the growth of my students and my passion is to help them achieve their goals.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is interactive and flexible, allowing you to set the pace of becoming a better speaker. Whether you prefer structured lessons or conversational practice, classes are tailored to the level and needs of each individual. One of my greatest assets as a teacher is to enable students to better themselves so they can reach their full potential.

Lessons with Jessica are inspiring and funny. She notices mistakes and then correct them kindly. No pressure or negative feedback, only new knowledge and profound conversation.

She's a very qualified person with many resources and skills. She's very committed to her students and adapts the class to the specific needs. She's a great communicator, she uses a standard language with a neutral accent, with a very rich vocabulary. She's a fantastic teacher.

Really loving classes! She is super supportive when I’m struggling and makes sure she lets me know when I’m doing well too to keep my motivation up. So excited to continue!

This was my first time having class with Jessica and it was really great! Jessica asked a lot about me and about my preference of learning English. I will definitely sign up for our next lesson :)
