Hi my name is Brends and I am a native English speaker from South Africa. I have experience teaching Business English, Academic English, IELTS, Writing, Reading, Vocabulary as well as Pronunciation. I have taught young children from 7 years old as well as senior citizens, the oldest being 73. Please view my lessons to find out more about how I can help you.

J’ai juste envie de dire mille mercis à Brends !!!! Dès la 1ere leçon, je me suis sentie à l’aise. Elle affiche toujours un grand sourire de bienvenue. Les échanges sont tellement naturels que je suis toujours surprise quand sonne la fin de l’heure. Elle guide à merveille, corrige au moment le plus opportun. Réservez une leçon avec Brends, vous serez plus que ravie de ce moment de partage et des progrès que vous allez faire !

Brenda is the best English teacher I ever had (and I had a lot of them).
Patiently accompanied by her, and thanks to her great pedagogy, I was able to reach my goal : feeling at ease in any kind of English conversations.
Her way of teaching is precise, lively and well structured.
As a psychotherapist graduated from University, I can assert that Brenda has an inner sense of psychology and human relationship. So she perfectly knows how to attune herself to her student.
I do recommend her to everyone who really needs to improve his/her English
