I studied political science, international relations and law at university in the United States. I also completed my TEFL Course in South Africa. My area of expertise is in helping intermiate and advanced learners improve their English and navigate challenges they face. I will also share resources for improving your vocabulary, pronunciation and natural style of speaking. My lessons & teaching style
My focus is on communication, conversation and building your confidence. I will work with you to learn important vocabulary for your everyday situations. We will work together to improve grammar and pronunciation in a natural and relaxed way. I will share with you many tips and resources I have learned in my own foreign language studies. We can concentrate on specific situations where you want to use English, or specific aspects you want to improve.My teaching material
