Hi! I'm Kaitlynne, from South Africa. (You can call me Kait!)
I am an experienced, certified English teacher of 3 years and qualified in teaching children with complex traumas. Additionally, I am a mental health advocate, post-grad psychology student, podcast producer and certified life and mindset coach. I enjoy learning new languages and I am currently learning Spanish as I have Costa Rican colleagues. I love learning about other cultures through language, food, songs and jokes. I am bilingual (Afrikaans and English) and studied Mandarin at university. I am passionate about teaching and learning from my students as I am open-minded, curious and patient.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher my main goal is to tailor to your needs of learning. I'll assist with grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading and developing your fluency. Since I majored in Dramatic Arts at university, if you are preparing for an interview or presentation, I can assist you with building your confidence and vocabulary and give you pointers on where to improve. I have taught different demographics from Asians, Czechoslovakians, Costa Ricans to South Africans. In South Africa we have 12 official languages and being able to facilitate each person's learning from their native language to English has been such a fun and enjoyable experience.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are based on your personal needs and goals, whether its pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, reading or speaking fluency. I use different lesson materials to keep you engaged, motivated and comfortable!
Beginner English classes:
- Use of PowerPoints for basic structures.
- Use of immersive materials such as videos, texts, shorts.
- Homework will be assigned to help you improve and practice as much as possible.
English Conversation classes:
- Topics include: Travel, Psychology, Photography, Culture or anything you're interested in!
* I will give you feedback on where you can improve with a Google Doc highlighting the points. *
I just had my first lesson with Kait and it was an incredibly great experience. She really is an amazing teacher and has a wonderful personality and it's really fun to talk to her. The lessons were very well thought out and there was never a dull moment. She is also very patient and gives you the time you need. I am absolutely thrilled by her fabulous character and can hardly wait for the next lesson. I could talk to her all day. And if that wasn't enough, she even manages to write down some points during the lesson, which you don't even notice so the flow of the conversation isn't affected. The fantastic feedback I have received from her is really valuable and I am most grateful for it. Thank you Kait.

She is a very kind teacher. She carefully structures the lessons to make conversation practice go smoothly. She guides learners at an intermediate level like me in easy-to-understand English and patiently explains anything I didn't understand, so I really appreciate it.
