Ik als leerkracht
"To learn another language is to awaken another version of the self."
Teaching has opened my eyes to the rich diversity of cultural perspectives that shape how we live, think, and engage with the world. Through this journey, I’ve come to appreciate just how much our languages carry the weight of our identities.
I’ve tutored English, Linguistics, and Biology at university level, and I bring that academic depth into every session.
As an educator, I aim to honor each student as a whole person - not just a learner. My approach in the classroom is one that fosters self-discovery alongside skill-building, encouraging students to explore language as a gateway to knowing themselves more fully. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching approach is steady and adaptable-rooted in consistency, yet always responsive to the unique dynamics of each group I teach.
I weave elements of fun and engagement into the classroom atmosphere, making lessons lively in both tone and delivery.
My goal is to help students connect with the content in a way that feels natural and age-appropriate, using relatable examples and playful methods to anchor understanding.
I value the student as a whole person, not just a learner. I aim to meet them where they are—intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
I encourage learners to stretch beyond their comfort zones, both during lessons and in their everyday environments.Mijn lesmateriaal

In my opinion, Miss Phila is one of the best teachers on Italki. She is so professional and qualified I can't even describe. I feel highly comfortable and calm with here during the lessons and the best thing is that she always tries to challenge me which ultimately leads to an increase in English level.
Deeply love this teacher and highly recommend her!

I just had the most delightful Zulu language lesson with Phila! Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has a knack for making each lesson productive, fascinating, and enjoyable.
What I love most about Phila's teaching style is that she goes beyond just teaching the language. She takes the time to share the history and culture behind certain words, which has helped me gain a deeper appreciation for the language and its roots.
Phila comes to each lesson fully prepared, and she even provides additional materials after class to make learning Isizulu a breeze! In just a short time, I feel like I've made significant progress and now have a solid understanding of the core rules and concepts of the language.
I'm so grateful for such an amazing lesson and for Phila's dedication to helping me learn Zulu. I can't wait for our next lesson, and I'm excited to continue this language journey with her! :)
