Hi! I’m Shimei van der Walt, a bilingual English teacher from South Africa, where 11 languages weave our vibrant culture. Fluent in English and Afrikaans, I’ve helped students worldwide since 2019 master *real* communication—not just grammar, but confidence and cultural fluency. Whether you’re prepping for exams, work, or daily chats, my lessons blend warmth with expertise. Let’s turn language hurdles into victories—together!Ik als leerkracht
Learning English doesn’t have to be boring—actually, it can be a whole lot of fun! As a teacher, I love turning lessons into something exciting and interactive. Forget just reading from textbooks and filling out worksheets—we get creative, play with the language, and make it come alive! Over the years, I’ve picked up loads of handy tips and tricks that have helped my students feel more confident and enjoy the process. English might seem tricky at first, but with the right vibe (and a little help from me), you’ll see just how doable—and fun—it really is!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
No two students are the same, so neither are my lessons! Whether you're looking for casual conversation practice to boost your speaking skills or more structured sessions using TEFL-approved materials, I’ve got you covered. I’m also happy to follow school or company-provided lesson plans—flexibility is part of the package! With experience teaching everyone from tiny preschoolers to lifelong learners, I’ve worked with students across the globe—from Russia and China to the UK, Vietnam, Australia, and beyond. My aim is to create a positive, relaxed space where learners can grow their confidence and fluency in English at their own pace.Mijn lesmateriaal

The lessons we are trying lately are very engaging as I am required to talk and discuss a lot of different topics at once. This is quite a good idea Shimei introduced, and I think I will improve my speaking skills more quickly.
