About Me

I am a South African married woman with 2 children. I am teaching English-online on a full-time basis and have pupils from around the world. I am able to assist students at all levels of English, from beginners to upper advanced. I am able to assist with IELTS, Advanced exams, Toefl Exams. I have much experience with children as I used to teach and assist primary school children with their homework and also give them extra classes where necessary. I also ran a programme where I develop pre-school children for school readiness, both mentally and physically. Previously I worked in a local English magazine. I have a matric qualification and a Tesol English qualification.
Me as a Teacher
I believe I have a natural ability to teach. I am very patient and I am able to help people who battle with certain aspects of learning. I have been working on Italki and other teaching platforms for 18 months - my students have ranged from children to adults and their levels have ranged from Beginner to Upper Advanced.
Before teaching online I taught in various capacities for the past 17 years.
Teaching must be a passion, and I truly enjoy teaching and helping people succeed in their goals.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are well-rounded -- while speaking is the best way of improving English skills, I like to include some grammar practise as well as using articles and videos where I encourage my students to summarise and think concisely in English.
I enjoy working and interacting with people and especially like to adapt my lessons to every student's needs and preferences.
Teaching is my passion!
