Acerca de mí

Hello,

I'm a native English speaker from Johannesburg, South Africa, with 5 years of online teaching experience. I work with students from around the world, including Russian learners and professionals based around the world. I have also taught Angolan engineering students in the Oil and Gas industry in Angola.

Alongside my teaching, I have 8 years of experience in Creative Arts and Art Installation, which is one of my greatest passions.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Journalism, with a focus on English, Creative Writing, Photojournalism, and Broadcasting, and I’m TEFL qualified. I’m currently working towards completing my TEFL Level 5 Certification with Trinity College London.

In my classes, we’ll focus on comprehension, vocabulary, and key language elements like phrasal verbs, idioms, figures of speech, and tone to improve your fluency. Whether you're a school learner, engineer, procurement buyer, doctor or working in any industry, I tailor lessons to fit your career and goals. I can also help you prepare for exams like IELTS and CELTA.

When I'm not teaching, I'm passionate about Malenoir dogs, art, writing, gardening, and community building in Johannesburg.
