About Me

I live in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and a photographer's dream for natural landscapes as well as street photography. I completed a 6 month course in professional photography in 2018 and I have taken courses in the assessment of photography, so I judge photographic competitions from time to time. Photography classes are conducted in English only so a B2-C2 English level learner should be comfortable.

I am also an English language teacher (MA, BSc, CELTA) and can help you learn or practise English either for general interest or exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge A2-C2). I offer support in French and Italian where necessary for those learning English as a second language. I have pronunciation courses too for those who want to improve their fluency and listening comprehension.

Improve your photography: learn how photos are judged and revise camera essentials

20 $ /h

If you want to improve your photography, send me some of your latest images before the class. In the lesson, you will begin by describing how and why you took the images. Then we will start discussing and assessing the image in terms of the assessment criteria used in judging photographic competitions.

If necessary we can revise digital photography essentials (i.e. the use of manual settings on a digital camera) although it's perfectly fine if you are using your mobile phone and aren't interested in using manual settings).

This class is in English only and is suitable for English levels B2-C2.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

The English language is not a matter of just about learning the language; it is more than just grasping the language. I make the lesson fun, enjoyable and put everything into action by practice and actual use of what we have learnt. I have structured this course majorly to help with conversations and every day use
