Helping people is in my blood! I will do my best to help you improve your speaking skills one conversation at a time. I am fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans. My journey as an educator over the last 5 years has been the most rewarding career choice I have ever made. I've had the privilege of meeting, making friends with, and guiding students from diverse backgrounds to achieve their language proficiency goals.

Me as a Teacher

In my lessons, you’ll receive personalized instruction tailored to your unique needs and goals. I focus not only on teaching language but also on building your confidence to communicate fluently in English or Afrikaans. Specializing in English conversation, I adapt to various English styles, including British, American, and South African to suit your individual learning path. You’ll benefit from pronunciation correction, topic-based vocabulary, and a safe space to practice. With 6 years of online teaching experience, I’m dedicated to creating a comfortable environment where you can achieve your goals at your own pace, with patience and guidance.

My lessons & teaching style

Whether it's honing conversational skills, preparing for examinations, refining writing techniques, or mastering grammar and vocabulary, I use a variety of interactive methods and resources to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. From incorporating multimedia resources to engaging in real-life scenarios, my teaching style is adaptable and student-focused. Connecting language proficiency with practical application, I aim to make every session an opportunity for growth and skill enhancement. My teaching is not just about transmitting information but also fostering a genuine love and appreciation for the target language. Let's connect and explore how I can assist you with your learning

Angie is superb. From expert translation to guiding me on the correct application and cultural differences, she has all bases covered. Came away with a solid plan and can’t wait for the next lesson. Thanks Angie!

This time we had a conversation lesson. It was very satisfying to me in a sense that by the end of the lesson I felt that I was really learning something and moving toward my goal. I am happy with MS Angela Smith's lessons, and I will definitely want to book more.
