InterestsFoodHistoryTravel

My name is Denise, and I lived in Cape town, South Africa, but have relocated to Mallorca. I am a native English and Afrikaans speaker. I am the mother of three children. I love travelling and learning about different cultures, and I am currently learning to speak Spanish.

Me as a Teacher

I studied as a Foundation Phase teacher, as well as being a qualified Ballet, Tap and Contemporary Dancing teacher.I have been teaching both adults, teenagers and children for the past 35 years.

My lessons & teaching style

I like to personalise my lessons and make them student centred, building the lessons around their interests. I like to concentrate and base my lessons on conversational English, which allows for maximum student participation and develops confidence. I introduce new vocabulary, and correct incorrect Grammar as needed, as well as giving a task to complete between lessons, when necessary. I recap on concepts and skills previously covered, which we then build on as we continue with lessons.
