About Me
italki teacher since Aug 6, 2021Interest topicTravelPets & AnimalsFilms & TV Series
My name is Melba Netshidzati and I have been teaching Tshivenda and English for the past 3 years. I am From Limpopo, South Africa and I live here in Johannesburg. I have just obtained my degree in Management Studies from the University of Cape Town. I love travelling, cooking, language translation, making candles, meeting new people and trying different foods. I have never travelled outside my country but would like to, in the near future. My favourite dish is Tripe and Dombolo (steamed bread). I love dogs and my first dog was named Frodo after Frodo in The Lord of the Rings. I love meeting new people and interacting with people from all over the world will be even better.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I take a meaning-focused approach to my students. I employ task-based teaching methods in the classroom. We also learn by seeing so I use a lot of visuals. I have been a tutor for 3 years and the whole time I have taught both adults and young kids. I will make sure the student knows what the lesson will be about beforehand so that we are both prepared and ready for the lesson.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching will take different formats depending on the lesson. But, I mainly intend to prepare my students for the Tshivenda and English-speaking world. I include many interactive activities in my Tshivenda and English lessons so you can expect a lot of those and I try to keep the lesson fun. I always try to ensure there is homework if necessary so that the learning continues. Everyone is safe in my class and I work patiently to reach your goals.My teaching material

Melba is a pleasant, polite, well-prepared and gentle teacher. Before the lesson, she asked me in advance about what I would like to learn and she made a lot of effort to share with me not just Venda as a language but also the culture. It was very enjoyable experience and I am so glad to know Melba and more about Venda. Thank you! ☺️
