Introduction:

Hallo! Thank you for viewing my profile.

I am a South African girl who has been teaching online English since November 2017. I enjoy teaching English online because I love to see how they grow in their English Language Journey and the amazement when they understand and remembers what I have been teaching. My passions are traveling and I have been to Amsterdam, Paris, Mozambique, India, and Thailand. My other passions include art (I enjoy drawing and painting) writing children's books (want to self-publish my own books) and entrepreneurship. I have 260 TEFL hours and can teach Advanced Grammar, Young Learners and Business English.

I started teaching English online in 2017 because I enjoy teaching and seeing my students develop. I build long lasting loyal relationships with my students as I believe a teacher should invest in a language student for the long run. My specialty when it comes to teaching is Advanced Grammar, teaching young learners and Business English and I have completed 260 TEFL hours in the form of educational TEFL certificates. I completed my National Certificate in N3 Business Studies in 2006 and have numerous Microsoft Advanced Certifications.

I enjoy covering topics like business, business practice and projects, the art and entertainment world and the general English language as well as world news. My classes are thorough and motivational, I do not rush through my classes, especially when I see that a student needs more focus and attention to specific problem areas. My students can expect fun and positive lessons from me filled with value and knowledge. Prerequisites for my classes are a basic knowledge of English and a positive and hardworking attitude.

Thank you for reading this far and I hope we can connect soon!
