Me as a Teacher
I am very passionate about teaching and I can offer my great interpersonal skills. I am very good at holding a conversation and I am very adventurous, so I can talk about anything.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured but relaxed. I guide you through conversations that match your level and your goals—whether that’s everyday English, travel, work, or IELTS preparation.
I always give corrections, suggestions, and feedback in a kind and helpful way. I take notes during class so that you can see your progress and review new vocabulary or phrases after each lesson.
We’ll use real, useful topics that keep you talking and learning naturally. I’ll encourage you, challenge you gently, and help you feel more fluent, step by step.

The teacher is very cool. It is very comfortable to talk to her on different topics. She speaks clearly, slowly and understandably. 45 minutes of conversation in English is a record for me. Thank you Mandy!

Mandy is a good teacher that I have ever met. She makes the lessons more fun and interesting, it is a powerful way to acquire a new language naturally.
During the lesson, we can freely discuss about weekend activities, life experiences, and phrasal verbs; it is not only English learning, but also gain knowledge and wisdom in life.
I am grateful for this and hope to continue learning English with Mandy.

Mandy is a wonderful teacher. She gave me a lot of advice and encouraged me to keep going through the English journey. Her pronunciation is very clear, as well. Besides, she told me many special things that I wanted to know about her Country, South Africa. I really recommend her.

I had only five lessons with Mandy but even in such a short time, she made a big difference in my preparation for the IELTS speaking exam. I came to her because I wanted to feel more confident when speaking English, and thanks to her support, I truly did.
Her teaching style is warm, energetic, and encouraging. She creates a very comfortable and open atmosphere, which helped me relax and express myself more freely. I really appreciated how attentive and positive she was — it made the lessons not only helpful but also very enjoyable.
