About Me
italki teacher since Jun 9, 2021InterestsFoodTravelWritingEnvironment & NaturePets & Animals
Hi there! My name is Fareeda, and I’m an English tutor from South Africa. I’m a native Afrikaans speaker and fluent in English. I hold a 120-hour TESOL certificate and have worked as a field researcher in Linguistics, which gave me deep insights into the English language and how it's used in real-life settings.
I enjoy helping students build confidence in their speaking, listening, and overall communication skills. Whether you're just starting your English journey or working on fluency, I’m here to support you with patience and encouragement.
Classroom Policy:
My lessons are a respectful and focused learning space. Any form of inappropriate or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.Me as a Teacher
I am a compassionate and patient teacher who understands that learning a new language can be challenging. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where students feel confident to make mistakes, grow, and express themselves freely.
As a language enthusiast, I believe that teaching is a two-way experience—I learn from my students just as they learn from me. My lessons are both fun and informative, blending structure with meaningful conversation to help you reach your language goals at your own pace. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are primarily conversational, as I believe that speaking regularly is one of the most effective ways to learn a new language. Through relaxed, natural conversations, students can build confidence, expand vocabulary, and improve fluency over time.
I am a kind and patient teacher who understands that learning a new language can feel overwhelming at times. That’s why I’m here—to guide and support you as we work together to overcome any language challenges you may face. You're not alone in your learning journey, and I will always do my best to make our lessons enjoyable, encouraging, and effective.My teaching material

My first lesson with Fareeda was precisely what I was looking for: an introduction to conversation in Afrikaans. She is an engaging, bright and very helpful conversation partner. Very knowledgeable and very careful to make sure that I understood everything that was saying. I would highly recommend Fareeda to anyone who is interested in the Afrikaans language and the situation of multilingualism in South Africa.

Fareeda is very nice, friendly and easy to approach. She definitely is a very responsible teacher and makes careful preparations for her classes. What impressed me most was that she didn’t rush the class and let it to end naturally. We had so pleasant a session. I felt spontaneously pretty close to her. I’ll for sure take more of her classes and highly recommend her to you.

I am taking Afrikaans lessons with Fareeda and I had to check all of the markers because her lessons was well put together and her materials were arranged in a perfect order for beginners. Not only do you hear the words repeatedly but she test your memory by making you practice them shortly after hearing them several times. I highly recommend her if you are an English speaker who wants to learn Afrikaans!
