I am Vanessa, a English speaking native from South Africa. I enjoy socializing, meeting new people, watching movies and tv shows with my family.I am a friendly, vibrant, patient and driven person. I like to cook and in my free time. I'm a lover of life and all things to do with food, travel and adventure. I can speak clear and fluent English that is easy to understand.
Me as a Teacher
"I am a positive person who has an enthusiastic outlook on life. I love my job as a community tutor and I get a great sense of achievement from seeing my students develop and grow as individuals.
If I can have a positive impact on their future, I feel I am doing my job well. I am an effective communicator, both in writing and verbally and I have a strong ability to plan and organize effectively; something which is crucial to the role of a competent teacher.
I cope very well with pressure and can adapt my style or teaching methods, when needed, to deliver consistent results. I have an understanding of the bigger picture and the pressures that are placed on the school.
My lessons & teaching style
“My teaching style is primarily centered on engagement. I adapt my teaching style in order to cater for everyone and make the material as interesting as possible.
I like to use colorful PowerPoint slides and even videos where possible to demonstrate my learning points. I believe this is something which increases student interest significantly, and from my experience, leads to a better learning experience overall. I am highly effective at behavioural management. Finally, I have an approachable, inclusive style of teaching that is sufficiently flexible enough to cater for a diverse range of learning styles, needs and requirements.”
