About Me
italki teacher since Aug 23, 2021Interest topicTravelPets & AnimalsSports & Fitness
I absolutely love my job and I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but I am a great teacher.
I absolutely love everything about nature and the outdoors, so I try to spend as much time as possible outside walking, hiking, camping and riding my mountain bike.
I live in the city during the week but chances are, over a weekend, you'll find me visiting my family's private bushveld reserve located close to the city of Johannesburg.
I am an academically orientated person and I am currently completing my degree in Biotechnology.
For the rest, I am a bit of a homebody. I like tending to my plants, reading, barbecuing with friends and sometimes cooking.Me as a Teacher
I am a level five TEFL qualified teacher with over nine years teaching experience. I teach English as both a first and foreign language to students of all ages. I have been teaching English online for 2 years and I have over 2000 hours online teaching experience.
I started teaching eight years ago when I took a position as a mathematics and English tutor at a Kumon institute. From there I went on to providing private tutoring lessons to South African students who struggled with English in school. I did that for many years until I decided, at the beginning of 2020, to start teaching English online.My lessons & teaching style
I make my lessons very interactive so that my students can practise using English as much as possible. I follow a structured syllabus and use well thought out lesson plans as per my TEFL training.
Each student is different and requires different things from a lesson. Because of this no two students will follow the same learning plan and lessons are tailor made to meet your needs.
I will provide you with worksheets and notes covering everything we discuss in class and if you like, I like to provide homework.
Most lessons include grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation focus as these three areas are essential if you are to master English.My teaching material
