Hi there! My name is Lelo and I am a native English speaker from Pretoria in South Africa. I am a teaching assistant at a local school where I tutor English. I hold a 120-Hour TEFL Certificate, a mechanical engineering diploma, and I am also currently pursuing another qualification in education. Outside of teaching, I am an adventurous, creative, fun-loving people person! I love traveling, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures.Me as a Teacher
I enjoy having a schedule to follow and a list of things to do. When it comes to improving or resolving a problem, I am quite inventive. I am to connect with others, learn and work together in peace, and actively try to be there for others when they are in need.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons and teaching style can be best described as calm, friendly, interactive, and encouraging where we focus more on conversational English for. One example is talking about our interests. I also encourage my students, regardless of their confidence, to speak, ask questions and engage fully.My teaching material

I had my first lesson with Lelo and it was amazing. Lelo is a very polite, helpful and motivating teacher. I had a lot of fun to talk with her. Thank you so much Lelo for the nice conversation/lesson. I already look forward to the next lesson.
