Hi! My name is Dylan and I am from Cape Town, South Africa.
I am an ESL teacher passionate about helping people achieve their language learning goals. I am keenly interested in meeting people from different parts of the world to experience different cultures and discover the beauty of this world. During my journey as a teacher, I have met people from across the world and it is an absolute joy to help them improve their English and learn about their lives, culture and country.
My experience teaching English has been absolutely rewarding. I hope to have more rewarding experiences with more interesting people. Feel free to book a lesson and I hope to meet you soon.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I believe that the most effective way for someone to improve their spoken English is through general conversations. As a teacher, I tend to build a rapport with students and discover their hobbies and interests to incorporate them into lessons. This makes it a fun and relatable learning experience. I assess the language level of my students through these conversations and look for core areas that the student needs to improve on such as grammar and pronunciation. Valuable feedback is something I firmly believe in giving and as a person I also love to receive valuable feedback from students.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
During my lessons, I focus purely on the student's primary needs. I generally have a question-and-answer structure in order to maximize conversations and assess language skills. However, I am flexible and open to trying other methods on students' requests. I generally initiate the conversations and correct grammar and pronunciation throughout the lesson. I also focus on widening the range of the student's vocabulary by incorporating various topics in the conversation.
My 10 y.o. daughter loves to talk to Dylan. There's a good chance she might even think he's one of the coolest people she'd met because--spoiler alert--apparently he has a pet FERRET))
Like all the other people already said: patient and polite, great conversationalist. Just what Zoe needed for English speaking practice and we are lucky, if not privileged, to be able to enlist his help.

This is the last lesson with Mr Dylan, He has already taught me approximately three hundred lessons. One and a half years ago was the time of my first lesson with him and at that time my English level was very low. My purpose was to achieve 6 points on the IELTS test three months after that I achieved that. I can't forget how excited I was. I really appreciate Dylan’s efforts. He is a good teacher he is passionate, creative, and extremely helpful to my English studying. When I write this, I just have eighteen days until I go to Australia. I hope you can be prosperous in your English teaching career. Have a nice day, my friend Dylan see you later.

I’ve been studying with Dylan for more than a year now, and his passion for teaching shines through every lesson. He’s always punctual, rarely misses a class, and combines his expertise with a wonderful sense of humor that makes learning enjoyable. Beyond language skills, he shares insightful perspectives on Western culture, broadening my understanding in every session. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated, engaging, and knowledgeable teacher!
