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 pursuits—topics 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? I’m 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 let’s start preparing the smart way!
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is tailored to each student’s individual needs. I focus on the skills that are most important for your progress, whether that is reading, writing, speaking, listening, or overall comprehension. You are welcome to book a trial lesson, which will allow us to assess your goals together and determine the best approach for our lessons.
I enjoy helping students refine their pronunciation, expand their vocabulary, and use idiomatic expressions more accurately and naturally. Together, we create a structured learning plan that allows me to give you personalized feedback within a set timeframe, highlighting your progress and identifying areas that need improvement.

Studying with Adele has been an amazing experience for me. From the very first lessons, I felt how professional, supportive, and motivating she is as a teacher. She explains everything clearly and patiently, and she always knows how to push you to do better without any pressure.
Thanks to her guidance and constant motivation, I have truly improved my English skills — especially my confidence in speaking and expressing my thoughts. Every lesson was well-structured, engaging, and productive, and I always felt encouraged to grow and challenge myself.
Adele is not just a teacher, but a real mentor who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I am extremely grateful for her support and inspiration, and I can confidently say that learning with her was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my English journey.
Highly recommended!
