Certified TEFL Tutor for Business English or Coversational English

From 32.33 $ /h

I specialise in preparing students for English exams such as BULATS, IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC. Listening, reading, writing and speaking.

I customise and adjust my courses according to each individual.

My ultimate goal is to keep students motivated and engaged, and not feel overwhelmed. I can speak from experience, as I have had to learn (and still have a long way to go) French. A very complex language! So there is hope, English can be fun and we will get you speaking, reading and writing - whatever your goal is!

About Me

I am a motivated, passionate and patient person. I have been teaching English as a Foreign Language for the past 5 years in France. I absolutely love my job!

I tailor and customise each course with each of my students. I find what interests you have and base my courses around that. I find that it is easier to understand and remember information if you can relate to the topic.

I have a true understanding of how daunting it can be to learn a new language. I was born in South Africa (my mother-tongue is English). I lived in London for 15 years and Edinburgh for 5 years. Listening to different English accents and dialects was quite an adjustment, but really good fun. After having lived in the UK for 20, I had an opportunity to move to the French Riviera. An opportunity, I obviously, could not refuse!

The problem was the language. As beautiful and magnificent as the French language is, I have found it to be an incredibly complex langauge to learn - certainly one that I have NOT mastered by a long shot, but I am determined to speak it fluently.

Having experienced the complexities of aqcuiring a new langauge, I can certainly relate to the frustrations. So do not despair! We will work together to make English as fun, easy and enjoyable to learn.

I use many visuals, lots of practical exercises and revision!

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.
