Hi! I’m Teacher Shannon, a lively native English speaker from South Africa (and fluent in Afrikaans too!). With 2 years of online teaching experience and a TEFL certification, I specialize in fun, interactive lessons—think puppets, props, and lively chats! My call center background sharpened my patience and communication skills, but my real joy is helping students boost confidence in pronunciation and everyday English. Whether you’re a shy beginner or a fluent speaker, let’s make learning unforgettable!Me as a Teacher
I take a patient and caring approach to teaching, with a strong focus on pronunciation and clear, supportive guidance. I recognize that every learner is unique, so I tailor my methods to meet individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
My primary focus areas include pronunciation, vocabulary development, English fundamentals, and conversational skills. For younger students and beginners, I incorporate engaging tools such as props and puppets to create a fun and interactive learning environment. I consistently use Total Physical Response (TPR) in all of my lessons to ensure comprehension and active participation. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching philosophy centers on creating an interactive, supportive, and transparent learning environment. I encourage students to actively contribute by voicing their thoughts, asking questions, and engaging fully in discussions, regardless of their confidence levels. I am skilled at recognizing each student’s strengths and areas for growth, and I use a variety of instructional strategies—such as props, whiteboards, and flashcards—to scaffold learning and make concepts accessible to all learners.My teaching material

I had such a good lesson with Shannon, I think she was so well prepared to give it, and because of that, we could hold such an exciting conversation. Besides the latter, she was kind and always showed a smile and an excellent willingness to do her job. I recommend you her as your teacher.
