Zimasa Bikitsha

I'm a 29 year old from South Africa with a passion for teaching English. In my free time, I enjoy reading fictional books, listening to music and watching series and movies that transport me to different worlds. Recently, I have taken up crocheting as a new hobby, and I am excited to explore my creativity through this craft. I believe my diverse interests help me connect with my students on various levels, making our lessons not only educational but also enjoyable. I am a certified ESL tutor with a 120 hour TEFL certificate. I have volunteered as an online English tutor for adults for the past 11 months. My students have consistently achieved scores of over 80% on their exams and have shown significant improvement in their writing skills. In my lessons, I adopt a student-centred approach that prioritises individual learning and goals. I create a supportive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable practising their English skills. My lessons are interactive, incorporating a variety of activities such as discussions, roles-plays and multimedia resources to enhance comprehension and retention. I focus on building confidence in speaking and writing, while also addressing grammar and vocabulary in context. Students can expect personalised feedback and tailored lesson plans that align with their interests, ensuring a dynamic and enjoyable learning experience.
