I cater my lessons to the specific needs of every student. I understand that students are unique and thus have different learning objectives. I am fun, enthusiastic and always have a positive outlook and expectation on my student's performance. I encourage and motivate learners to reach their learning goals. I am able to teach beginner, intermediate and advanced English. I ensure to listen to my students needs and give them as much opportunity as possible to speak and learn the English language. I engage with every student on the level of their language development and always highlight their achievements. I am generally a calm and very patient teacher.

My lessons are planned in advance to have a structure. I plan the objectives that will be covered in the lesson time. My teaching style has a good balance of being informal and formal.

Dimpho is incredible! With her help, I managed to boost my IELTS speaking score in just one month, reaching the score I needed. She guided me through various tasks step by step, pushing me beyond my limits.
Her clear explanations helped me understand my strengths and areas for improvement, which was a game-changer.
Before her lessons, I felt lost, but now I see a path forward thanks to her guidance. She's like a beacon of light illuminating the way to better English skills!
