Hi! I'm Ria, and I'm from Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
I’m passionate about traveling and exploring different cultures. I spent two amazing years living in London, and I've also visited Brazil, Spain, Australia, and the USA. My next dream destination? Finland!
I have friends from all over the world, and I love learning about their cultures.
In my free time, you’ll find me sewing my own clothes or getting lost in a good jigsaw puzzle. I also enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people.
I’m really excited to get to know you and help you on your language journey!Me as a Teacher
Hi! I’m Ria, a qualified English teacher from South Africa with over 14 years of classroom teaching experience and 3 years of teaching online. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Drama, a Post-Graduate Teaching Certificate, an Honours Bachelor’s in Education, and a Level 3 TEFL certificate. My neutral South African accent is clear and easy to understand—perfect for English learners around the world!
I love helping students build confidence, improve fluency, and enjoy the learning process. 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.My lessons & teaching style
Hi! 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 because I’ve seen firsthand how speaking and listening together help students build confidence and fluency faster.
I love to help students feel comfortable to express themselves, even if they make mistakes—that’s how we learn! Every student is different, so I always encourage you to share your goals and expectations with me. That way, I can try to tailor our lessons to fit your needs and help you reach your language goals in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
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.

I love Ria, every time I just enjoy to talk with Ria, it makes me very happy, everything wrong seems to vanish when I talk with Ria. Although sometimes I didn’t express in a very clear way, Ria is very patient and can help me with what I want to express. That’s excellent, I love Ria!!!🩷🩷🩷
