My name is Jacintha Jacob (Jes). I am a native English speaker from Johannesburg, South Africa, I have a teaching degree with majors in English and Music. I have been a teacher for 15 years, teaching students of all age groups in a few schools in my country. Meeting students and getting to know different cultures is something I enjoy very much. I also love music - I sing and play a few instruments and listen to all types of music, like jazz, pop, rap gospel and classical music. I am an easy-going, patient and fun person and I love to see my students achieve their learning goals - it gives me great pleasure. Teaching is my passion and I would love to continue my teaching career online.Me as a Teacher
I enjoy getting to know my students, their strengths, weaknesses, and also their interests and objectives. It allows me firstly, to understand them a little more and secondly, to plan my lessons better to meet their needs. I put a lot of effort and time into preparing my lessons in order to help my students as best as I can to achieve their learning goals. Depending on the age level I have also enjoyed incidental learning where learning is achieved through play, or just casual conversations on an informal basis. This works well with younger students. Within a friendly, non-threathening, fun environment I have achieved outstanding results over the years and made good friends.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style can best be described as interactive, supportive and transparent. I encourage my students to have a voice, to ask questions and to participate actively in all conversations regardless of their level of confidence. I invest time in getting to know my students. The quicker I build rapport the easier my job. Once I have an idea of their strengths and weaknesses I am then able to vary my aims to suit the needs of each individual. I will use tools to enhance my lessons as and when necessary,
So I am always well-prepared, I believe in setting clear and fair expectations, having a positive attitude and being patient with students.My teaching material
