Well, hello there! Welcome to my little corner of the iTalki neighbourhood :-)
My name is Maggie and I am from South Africa, where our official language is English.
I have a 140 hour TEFL certificate, and two years online teaching experience.
My interests include reading, writing, gardening (especially growing roses), baking, listening to music, watching stand up comedy on Youtube, and of course, chatting to my lovely students online :-) One of the areas in which I specialise is Speaking Practise for IELTS exam preparation. I offer a thirty minute lesson where you can fit in a quick round of oral questions from past exam papers.

Me as a Teacher
My favourite classes of all are the chatty, conversational ones. I would describe myself as patient. I enjoy correcting grammatical mistakes or pronunciation errors.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes are open ended. I take my cue from the student about what they would prefer to do, be it grammar, speaking practise or just plain old conversation.

Another day with a South African teacher, and another great time learning about South Africa! Thanks to Maggie, I had a relaxing and fun time today. I really liked the atmosphere, and she was very nice. I'm truly looking forward to having another class with her! :D

Very nice conversation with Maggie. I learnt new words. Maggie is patient and funny, the best qualities to be a teacher.
