I'm a certified TEFL teacher with command of the language.
Was online last yearTeachesEnglishSpeaksEnglish(Native)SpecialtiesDo businessTalk with peopleFor kidsImprove proficiency
I am a 35 year old South African lady who over the past years had a yearning for travelling the world. I then through the help of friends who are already teaching abroad,took a leap of faith and did TEFL certifications. That way I will help empower those who seek to understand the language realise their dream. I myself am still learning from relevant sources and teachers who are already in the field. I read a lot as well,that helps improve understanding of the language better.
I am a Degree holder as well and employed. I anticipate culture shock and the rest of other underlying issues of the field but I vow to be mindful not to offend,criticize and victimize anyboy.
Basically I have not taught,but my work gives me the teacher feels because I have to teach people about Safety,health and the Environment and I have to say, my colleagues respond very well to those sessions and we never really had any accidents or fatalit
Students want fun and interesting class with passionate and enthusiastic teacher.That is my teaching style. I want to help them learn while they are having fun, and appreciate the effort they are putting in wanting to learn. Students want their space and time to reflect,process and play.It is my duty to offer them this space and leave them special messages so as they know that I see them and interact with them on their level. Let them share their perspectives and be calm about their views and show them teacher-student relationship.
Students like teachers who are neutral.Do not favor certain students over the other because they will be negative or rude towards you.
