Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 22 Mar 2019Interest topicMuziekReizenIT
I’m a fun loving, hardworking guy who really believes that we are all teachers and students in some way and to some degree and the world is our classroom and life is our curriculum. For this reason, I really enjoy photography and reading. I’m also very interested in travelling, meeting people from all over the globe and learning about them and their cultures and learning the languages they speak. I was born in South Africa and have frequently visited Europe.. I’ve also been to Brazil and Canada. I speak Portuguese quite proficiently and some Spanish but my native language is English. I also have a huge appreciation for music, film, theatre and art.Ik als leerkracht
I never enjoyed learning languages until I taught myself. I discovered the reason for this was because teaching strategies my teachers used were incompatible with my learning style and they did very little to motivate me. This made learning hard. Once I saw just how enjoyable and easy it could be to learn language with the right attitude and methods, I decided to start teaching English. I acquired a bachelor’s degree in education, a CELTA certificate, 2 TEFL certificates and a licence to teach. I have also taught general purpose English, business English and academic English to all ages and at all levels from beginner to advanced level and to students from around the world for over 5 years.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Many students tell me they are too busy, slow, old or unmotivated to learn English - my teaching style enables me to find solutions to these problems. Firstly, I never follow a strict timetable or curriculum even when it comes to grammar lessons, because I know that all my students learn differently. I teach my lessons to match individual pace and learning style. I instil confidence in my students from day one by giving them many opportunities to practise English, giving my feedback during or after the activity. I ensure that my lessons are always productive by paying careful attention to my learners’ needs. I also make my lessons as fun and lively as possible to keep my students motivated.Mijn lesmateriaal

Certificate verified
CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) - Cambridge - 2013To acquire this certificate I had to enroll in an intensive 4 week course, attending lessons on how to teach and manage students, prepare lessons and teach them to refugees of different ages and levels. In addition, I also had to write a number of essays related to teaching English. The course prepared me to cope under pressure and deal with a number of different English teaching situations.

I enjoyed the classes with Kai. His open-minded and student-centric approach to teaching made the classes engaging and meaningful. He helped me to prepare for a teaching exam in English over the last couple of weeks. I learnt a lot of teaching methods, approaches and was given examples to put what I had learned into practise, and was able to improve my English in the process. So I would highly recommend Kai as an English teacher.

I really enjoyed our first lesson and was impressed by how good a teacher Kai is. He gives valuable feedback, pays attention to everything you say, taking notes of every mistake you make. Also, I found his suggested exercises very interesting. You can easily tell he knows what he is doing. Thank you again!
