About Me
italki teacher since Sep 2, 2019
I now live on a small farm in South Africa, 100 kilometers from Cape Town, where I farm with bees, and am an Artist, as well - I share the farm with wild porcupines, otters, hundreds of birds, and owls, and wild cats. I have years of experience, teaching online. I love pets, music, hiking, travels, news, chocolates and people from everywhere! Most of all, I love the English language, always excited to meet new students online! I have a corporate background in Management, Business and Law. I teach adults. If you wish to schedule a lesson with me, and you cannot find a suitable timeslot, do not hesitate to ask me, and I will try and accommodate a time convenient for you, as well.
Me as a Teacher
I have a 300-hour TESOL Masters Diploma, and I did my practical at a kindergarten - and a 120- hour TEFL certificate from Cambridge. And an Art qualification, as well as Management and Legal qualifications, and experience. I lectured Entrepreneurship to English second language speakers, for a year. My aim is to encourage your language skills by providing interesting lessons, in a relaxed yet professional environment, where you can build confidence. And to help you develop your vocabulary, pronunciation - and listening, reading, speaking. I focus on what your needs are, and individualize lessons to achieve your language goals. I have taught over 6000 lessons in less than three years.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are adaptive, to suit your needs, and I focus on your individual learning styles - I focus on the needs of my students - university students, adults or business people. I WANT my students to enjoy learning English, and to ensure that you learn. I will build confidence in using English in everyday life, and at the office. If you wish to improve fluency, for instance, then conversational English, on a topic you choose, will be the lesson plan. I am patient, kind, funny, and my teaching style is creative, comfortable, and welcoming. My lessons are for English language beginners to advanced students. I can help you improve your English skills.

Studied for LLB - UNISA - 2013I studied at both the University of South Africa and Rhodes University, for Law, as well as for Public Administration and Management, and a Diploma in Fine Art. I did my Masters Online in TESOL through an Irish College. In 2013, I did the Cambridge Express 120 hour Tefl, but I felt I needed more qualifications to be a professional online teacher.

I've had an amazing experience with Wendy ! She has a remarkable talent for making online sessions feel warm and personal. Her positive energy shines through even through the screen, and she approaches every virtual class with genuine enthusiasm. No matter the topic, our conversations flow naturally, and I genuinely look forward every our lesson. Learning English online with her has been an absolute joy!🩷
