Hey there! I’m Moddy, a native English speaker from South Africa with a passion for helping students speak confidently and naturally. With a background in Communication Science and experience teaching in Japan and online, I specialize in conversational English—whether you’re prepping for travel, work, or just love chatting!
My lessons are anything but traditional; think dynamic role-plays, pop culture deep-dives, and real-world practice. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me cooking global dishes or hiking—always collecting stories to share in class. Let’s make learning fun and fearless!

Me as a Teacher
Stop Learning, Start Speaking: Dynamic English Coaching
I don't teach; we partner. I reject the old-school "you're the teacher, I'm the student" mentality. If you expect traditional lessons, please look elsewhere.
My method is 100% non-traditional, designed to transform you from a learner into a confident speaker.
The Key to Fluency: You Talk More!
Every session is focused on maximizing your active practice. My role is to guide and facilitate, ensuring we maintain a powerful balance where Student Talk Time (STT) dominates Teacher Talk Time (TTT). I make sure the majority of our time is spent with you speaking, applying the language, and building real-world fluency.

I have a nice conversation with Moddy, and I can understand most what she said. She is a really kind person!
