About Me

Hi! I’m Ria from South Africa—a friendly English teacher helping students speak confidently! With 14+ years of teaching (and 5 online!).
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Drama, an Honours Bachelor’s in Education, and a Level 3 TEFL certificate
I'm a passionate teacher who believes that the best way to learn a language is by using it—a lot! My lessons focus on real conversation and active listening
My neutral accent and love for cultures (I’ve lived in London and traveled to 8+ countries!) make lessons relaxed and practical. Whether you’re prepping for travel, work, or daily chats, I’ll tailor lessons to your goals. Let’s make mistakes, laugh, and grow together—book a trial, and let’s chat!
I love helping students build confidence, improve fluency. Whether you’re preparing for an interview, improving your conversational skills, or working on grammar and vocabulary, I’ll do my best to tailor our lessons to suit your goals.
I am looking forward to meeting you!!!My teaching material

Ria is a wonderful listener with endless patience. She would understand you perfectly even though you might not feel like expressing yourself clearly. What’s more, every subject are welcomed to talk with her, ranging from daily life to politics. Anyway, I’m glad to meet such a motivating and knowledgeable teacher like her.
