My name is Theresa, I was born in Lesotho. Lesotho is located within the Republic of South Africa. I ‘m an adult educator with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Adult Education) from the National University of Lesotho. I also am a holder of 120 Hour TEFL Certificate. I have a Diploma in Business Studies and the Certificate in Personnel Management. The philosophy of learning is that education changes life. My Bachelor of Education Degree program has empowered me to apply experiential teaching methods because learning has a positive impact only if it is relevant to the learner’s needs. My degree in Bachelor of Education (Adult Education) includes the following: • Adult Literacy Teaching Methods • English Language Practice • Adult Education and Development • Mass Communication in Adult Education • Curriculum Design & Development in Adult Education • Psychology of Adult Learning • Sociology of Adult Education • Practicum in Adult Education Seminars and Conferences. I have a neutral British accent (Lesotho was a British Colony) and my voice is easy to understand. The 120 Hour TEFL course emphasized the need to note and be sensitive to different cultures and their native languages challenges with regard to learning English language vocabulary and pronunciation. This course has therefore empowered me to readily tutor international students of all ages. My experience in facilitation of workshops on behavioral change communication strategy against HIV and AIDS enabled me to design goals-focused lessons. I can provide conversational lessons which includes tutoring grammar, vocabulary, and all four English language skills. My learner-centered teaching approach enables learners to be confident in formal and informal English language proficiency. My hobbies are reading and listening to personal empowerment books and video. Over the years I upgraded my counseling skill on psychology subject, strategic management and project management. I am also learning lyrics poems writing.

Learners are classified in various levels; the starting level being beginners. The first class is meant to assess each student and assist to establish or confirm the expressed English language lessons goal. This session will enable me to know the learner's environment with regard to possible practice of English language at home. It is a basis on which I could design suitable lessons to be communicated as course outline to provide a clear learning map towards the learner's goal. Lesson 1 will confirm the level at which the learner has been placed. This means there will be upgrading of the learning material and confirmation of necessary teaching or tutoring techniques and strategies. The use of existential teaching approach emphases eliciting all English learning skills as critical to motivate learners to fully participation and stay engaged throughout the lesson. It is very important to create conducive learning environment and build teacher-learner trust. As an adult educator, I regard this principle as a foundation for continued learning at all levels.
