I am an enthusiastic and patient person even when teaching, I like to make all students feel as if they are talking to a friend. I can adjust my speaking speed to a suitable level for each student. I encourage students to feel free to ask me anything and to not be afraid of making mistakes. I enjoy making learning English interesting and fun in ways that would quickly progress a student's English level. My teaching style is progressive as I create lesson plans that motivate students to actively learn.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons can include a well-structured curriculum that will be customized to each student's needs. You can expect a focus on the following: grammar, reading, speech and pronunciation, as well as conversational practices, English for business and travel etc. My ultimate goal is for every student who attend my classes becomes expressive and fluent in the English language. My teaching philosophy includes being enthusiastic, nurturing and progressive in my teaching style. In doing so, I promote my students to actively learn. Students of all English levels are welcome to join my lessons; beginners to advanced. Children and adults are welcome. I look forward to hearing from you, see you soon!My teaching material

Language ConsultantMy experience working as a language consultant kept me on my toes as I was always meeting new people from all walks of life (4 to 75 years of age). It taught me patience and how to remain calm in all situations, I learned the skill of making a students day better and happier than when they entered my lessons. Lastly, it taught me the importance of time management and multitasking. It can be said that I have grown to become a better person.

I really like the positive and relaxed vibe of the lessons.
It is a pleasure to have conversation lessons with Mbali and talk about a variety of interesting topics. These lessons help me to sound more natural, expand my vocabulary and feel more confident when I speak English.
