Hello, I'm Mercy (Tsitsi)—a qualified teacher from Zimbabwe based in South Africa, with a diploma in education and TEFL certification.
I teach children, teens, and adults using age-appropriate methods: phonics and interactive activities for young learners; conversation, interview prep, grammar, and homework support for teens and adults.
My lessons are pressure-free and mistake-friendly. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced player, you'll find clear direction and encouragement.
View my schedule, pick a time, and let's reach your language goals.
Best,
Mercy
I'm a teacher who listens first — to words and to silence. When a child freezes, I lower the pressure. When an adult nods but hesitates, I gently say, "Let me check that differently." I don't shame mistakes; I name them, learn from them, and move on. My small rule: if one student is confused, others probably are too — so I stop, re-explain, and thank them for asking. My goal is simple: leave every student braver with English than when they walked in — and willing to say, "Again, please."
My teaching style is fun, patient, and judgment-free. For young learners, I use games, songs, and puppets to build confidence and strong reading skills. For adults, I keep lessons relaxed and practical—we might have a coffee chat, practice a job interview, or read a news article together. Because I am currently learning a new language myself (Setswana), I understand the nerves and joys of being a student, so I always teach with empathy ...我的教材
