My qualifications are:

Honours of Bachelors in Education
Level 3 TEFL certificate.
I also have 14 years of teaching experience and 2 years experience in Italki.
I have a neutral South-African accent and my voice is clear and easy to understand.My lessons & teaching style
I believe that the best way to learn a language is by speaking that language as much as possible.
Therefore, I shall encourage conversational learning. I believe that practicing listening helps to develop speaking skills faster. Confidence and fluency comes through practicing speaking and listening (Conversation practice)
I also encourage students to tell me what they expect from me, so that I can adjust my teaching to their needs.My teaching material

Ria is a wonderful listener with endless patience. She would understand you perfectly even though you might not feel like expressing yourself clearly. What’s more, every subject are welcomed to talk with her, ranging from daily life to politics. Anyway, I’m glad to meet such a motivating and knowledgeable teacher like her.

She is awesome! When I first started taking classes with her, I didn't feel comfortable with my conversation skills, but she encouraged me to speak. We always find interesting topics to discuss.
