About Me
italki teacher since Jan 19, 2018Interest topicSports & FitnessFilms & TV SeriesTech
I am a native South African from Cape Town. My home language is English but I'm fully bilingual as I am also fluent in Afrikaans, which is my second language. I also started learning Spanish some years ago and I have just recently started becoming interested in German. I am married and have two grown daughters. I love working with young people and sharing my knowledge and experience with them. I have worked in the security industry in Cape Town for a long time with a great deal of that time spent training staff members.
NB: I also teach Afrikaans to help make you feel at home during your next trip to South Africa.
Me as a Teacher
I am a very patient teacher. I believe everyone should be able to speak English, even if it is only their second language. This is important as English is the international language of choice for communication across various industries and sectors. I am passionate about helping as many people as I can to achieve this skill.My lessons & teaching style
I offer conversation classes for C1/C2 level students.
I also offer formal classes using the "Off2Class" s/w where you will have a Student Account on the Off2Class platform. You will learn English more quickly:
1. Find out your strengths and weaknesses with the Off2Class ESL Placement Test! All new students can complete the test. Receive an English Gap Analysis, Language Level, and personal English Learning Plan.
2. I have 100s of digital lessons to help you achieve your goals. Improve your speaking, reading, list, grammar, business English, idioms, IELTS, and much more!
3. You can log in to your private student account between classes, to review lessons and complete homework or tests.My teaching material

Work Experience
1985 - Current
Various Technical and Training PositionsI have been involved in training young adults mostly in the technical field (electronic security). I also teach children and teenagers at our local church (scouts and other life skills as well as religious studies). I feel this exposure in the teaching environment will help me with teaching English to non-native speakers.

Today, I had my 20th class with Jerome and have finished a packet. So, in a nutshell, during all these classes we have a fun time together. Jerome is very enjoyable and attentive and really prepared to help you improve your English skills as well. Thank you for all the support you gave me Jerome, in addition to all the corrections. I really appreciate that. I can highly recommend him as your next English teacher! Hope to talk to you soon, Jerome. Cheers.
