Hello! I'm Rumbi! I was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, but grew up and lived in England and Sweden for a total of 12 years. I really enjoy teaching English online as it allows me to meet many interesting people from different countries and also learn more about cultures. I also love learning languages and speak some Swedish,German and currently working on my Italian and Portuguese.
I love swimming, cooking, watching documentaries, culture and languages, food, nature, animals and travelling. I have travelled mostly in Europe, Africa and Asia, but would also love to have experiences in other continents:-)
I have a cute dog named Bruno who is a Rottweiler and Doberman mix:-)
Speak soon:-))
Ik als leerkracht
I am a fully certified TEFL teacher, holding an Advanced level 5 Diploma which is equivalent to a CELTA. I also have experience guiding students with test preparation which i hold certification and have been teaching since 2017 producing good results!
I have experience teaching students of all ages,levels and backgrounds, I love to motivate my students and make learning a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I always aim to make my classes comfortable and give my students the opportunity to express themselves and have more talk time, so they can build confidence and get to improve their speaking skills. I try to make my lessons practical, as well as personalizing them to each student.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I always try to make lessons fun, as well as relevant to your interests and needs, as well as to build a trusting friendly yet professional relationship with my students:-)
I tend to have conversation-based lessons, test preparation classes(IELTS/CAE etc), with most of my students making huge improvements:-) I use my professional background in dentistry and health to help those preparing for OET exams.
I can also teach grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and can provide reading/listening lessons if required using various teaching methodologies. A needs analysis is always conducted for those looking to take Business English classes to improve their skills.
Hope to see you soon:-)

Keuze van de leerkracht
Rumbi! She is a very kind and cheerful person. I like how she teaches and talks. I studied a speaking part for the OET exam for 3 months (almost 4). Not just study things that we have discussed. We exchanged our traditions and stories which related to our beliefs by talking. After the lesson with her, I feel like I have a new friend who comes from Zimbabwe!!
If anyone would like to learn the English language with her (in preparation for the exam or in casual conversation) please feel free to contact her. I guarantee you are going to meet the best teacher in Itaki.

1 Shona les
I had a lack of motivation to learn Shona at first. But Rumbi made it fun, explaining the cultural differences in a very interesting way. Therefore, I have more motivation to learn Shona now.
I didn't have any prior knowledge of Shona. But Rumbi shared her screen, showing the basic greetings in Shona and also sent me the word document with all the English translations after the lesson. Therefore, I learnt a lot about Shona greetings and was able to put them into anki.
I had a lot of questions about Zimbabwe culture and about Shona. But Rumbi answered all my questions in an easy to understand and detailed manner. Therefore, I learnt a lot about the culture in Zimbabwe and about Shona. For example, I think you clap the hands when saying hello or how are you.
I was worried that I would not understand Rumbi. But Rumbi's English skills were exceptional. Therefore, there was no problems in communicaiton at all.
I would highly recommend Rumbi if you want to learn Shona. 11/10 :)
