About Me
italki teacher since Mar 1, 2021InterestsFoodPets & AnimalsTravelFilms & TV SeriesReading
I’m a qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher with nearly 5 years of online experience. I’m a native English speaker from South Africa, now based in Ireland, and fluent in Afrikaans.
I teach all ages and levels, specializing in conversational English, confidence building, Business English, interviews, travel English, pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
My lessons are personalized, interactive, and supportive. I focus on real-life communication through conversation and practical activities, helping you speak naturally and independently.
Let’s make every word count!
Qualified TEFL/TESOL teacher with nearly five years of experience teaching English online. I've completed a Home Education Diploma and two modules in Early Childhood Education. Furthermore, I am a mother of two wonderful children, which has further strengthened my understanding of how learners develop at different ages and stages.
I'm a native English speaker and teach students of all ages. I tailor every lesson to suit each student’s individual needs, learning style, and goals.
I love conversation practice and helping students build confidence in real life communication. I am passionate about teaching English and creating engaging, supportive lessons that help students grow and succeed.
Learning should be fun, no matter your age—you are never too young or too old to learn. I use a multi-sensory approach to teaching because the more senses you engage, the more effectively you retain new language.
