Hello, I am Adele. I am a qualified and certified TEFL and IELTS teacher. I live in the beautiful city of Cape Town, I´ve also lived and worked as a Marketeer and a Councilor in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. I can speak Afrikaans as native speaker. I love to talk about ballet, reading, hiking, as well as spending quality time with friends and family. So, if you enjoy talking about these topics, I guarantee that we are going to have lovely conversations and share sweet and fun memories.
Me as a Teacher
Hello, I am Adele. I am a qualified and certified TEFL and IELTS teacher. I´ve helped more than 700 students achieve their goals in life, teaching them real-life English skills. I´ve more than 7000 lessons taught across 4 years of online teaching. I´d like to share with you that all my students score high in the IELTS exams, with half of them having at least a band 7.5. Amazing, isn´t it? To achieve these incredible results, we follow a strict lesson plan for each skill combined with a lot of revision work and reading mock tests.
In our lessons, I´m going to encourage you to speak 80% of the time during each lesson and I´ll be speaking, tutoring, and directing you 20% of the time.
My lessons & teaching style
My style of teaching is tailored to match the students' necessities as I focus mainly on teaching what they need to become proficient, whether it is reading, writing, speaking, listening, or comprehension. You are more than welcome to book a trial lesson so that we can assess together how we are going to conduct our lessons.
I love to help my students polish their pronunciation, enrich their vocabulary, and perfect their usage of idiomatic expressions. I do this, through a design plan (which is conducted alongside you), so that, given a certain length of time I can provide personalized feedback on your progress and point out aspects that need to be addressed to improve your English skills.
