I am Adele, a certified TEFL and IELTS instructor based in Cape Town. With professional experience spanning marketing in Zambia and counseling in Namibia, I bring a unique cross-cultural perspective to language teaching. As a native English speaker, I specialize in helping students develop natural English fluency, particularly for IELTS Speaking and Writing sections. Outside the classroom, my interests include ballet, literature, and outdoor pursuitsātopics I often incorporate into engaging lesson discussions. My approach combines exam strategy with authentic communication practice to help learners think and express themselves confidently in English.
Me as a Teacher
Are you aiming for Band 6.5, 7.0, or higher in IELTS? Iām an experienced tutor who has helped over 2,500 students succeed, especially in Speaking and Writing. I use real IELTS materials, timed tasks, Band 9 samples, and detailed feedback to improve your fluency, grammar, and structure. My lessons target common challenges like hesitation, articles, and vocabulary repetition. 90% of my students reached their target band, with one improving from 5.5 to 7.0 in just 8 weeks. Ready to boost your score with clear strategies and support? Book a trial and letās start preparing the smart way!
My lessons & teaching style
My style of teaching is tailored to match the students' necessities as I focus mainly on teaching what they need to become proficient, whether it is reading, writing, speaking, listening, or comprehension. You are more than welcome to book a trial lesson so that we can assess together how we are going to conduct our lessons.
I love to help my students polish their pronunciation, enrich their vocabulary, and perfect their usage of idiomatic expressions. I do this, through a design plan (which is conducted alongside you), so that, given a certain length of time I can provide personalized feedback on your progress and point out aspects that need to be addressed to improve your English skills.
