Hi! I am Miss Salie from South Africa! I am a happy and very kind person! :)
DID YOU KNOW? π€
In South Africa, we have 12 official languages! π€― So I am used to meeting people who speak different languages! I can help you with your English no matter what your Native language is! π₯³
I can speak 5 languages (English, Xhosa, African, a little bit of French, and Chinese) π
I love meeting new people, learning about new cultures, and teaching. Teaching is my passion.
Me as a Teacher
I have 2 years of experience in teaching and I am a 120-hour TEFL-certified teacher. πβ
I am:
π patient
π kind
π confident
π flexible
π energetic
I ALLOW my students TO MAKE MISTAKES in class and I ALWAYS motivate them in order to boost their CONFIDENCE! I use different resources (videos, powerpoint presentations) and reward systems to keep my students engaged during the lessons. I am extremely patient with my students - patience is my SUPER POWER!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will always be fun, engaging and informative. My class is a safe space for students to make mistakes and learn from them. I also always encourage my students to ASK QUESTIONS - no question is a silly question! π
In my class we will learn about MANY different things like how to improve: vocabulary, accent, pronunciation, grammar and SO MUCH MORE! π
Book a lesson with me. Everyone is welcome! :)

My 5-yr-old son has been having English lesson once a week with Miss Salie for almost a year. Teacher Salie is a very nice and encouraging teacher, she has good teaching skills with kids and can always catch my sonβs attention during lessons. I can feel my son is much better in speaking and using English, I donβt see him getting bored at the lessons at all! Thanks Miss Salie!

Woah, Salie, what a memorable class I had with you! You were well prepared for our joint session; a lovely, personalized PowerPoint presentation was created by you; and I had a pleasant chat with you today. I was delighted to catch up with you after a long time without seeing each other. I missed our classes, Salie.
In summary, I had an overall pleasant experience. I always admire and love to see your enthusiasm and energy in your teaching and lesson preparation. My English has certainly improved since I began working with you. Thank you so much!

It was a pleasure meeting and talking it over with you today, Salie. For me, you are such a light-hearted positive human being, full of new ideas, constantly on a mission how to change yourself and your students for the better. I feel comfortable in your hands; I have known you for a while now and understand that I am not just another pupil here on Italki who is likely to have only two or three sessions and then disappear from sight again (as it felt like with other educators). You and I together have the potential to achieve great heights.
