About Me
italki teacher since Feb 12, 2021InterestsFoodSports & FitnessGamingTravelMusic
I am a 23-year old South African living in the beautiful coastal town of Plettenberg Bay. My interests include learning different languages, the outdoors and interacting with people from all walks of life. After schooling in my home country, I was fortunate enough to spend a year living in Germany where I taught English and studied German (C1). It was there that I discovered not only my love for teaching but also learning languages. I enjoy helping others achieve their language goals and have fun doing it along the way.Me as a Teacher
I thrive in a relaxed, yet focused environment where students are free to express themselves and are comfortable interacting with me. I enjoy getting to know my students and learning about their background and culture. I am fun-loving and enjoy making others smile/laugh.My lessons & teaching style
Because I was recently a student learning a foreign language myself, I know what motivates a student to achieve their goals and I implement this in my style of teaching. My lessons are student-focused, and place emphasis on the ability to converse rather than focusing entirely on grammar. Lesson plans will be adjusted to cater for each student's needs.My teaching material

Great lesson, as usual! William is an amazing teacher who goes above and beyond for his students. Never had a more dedicated teacher for my son before, nor one who connects to kids so well.
