I am from South Africa and travelled to different countries and speak 5 languages. I am 54 years old and I like to cook and design my own spices. I am the author of Power of Voice. I started teaching in the Security sector and decide to change to languages as I speak 5 languages. I teach English, German and sometimes Dutch in Turkey and also online. I taught English to students from Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine for over 6 years. I am a TEFL (ICOES) Certified English teacher and am also a certified Life Coach. As my teaching style is Constructivism you can expect that you would be part of the lesson all the time. As I have a speech impediment called Rhotacism, it's that I have difficulties to speak the "R" correctly, I learned how to use it and focus on how I speak. I am therefor very strong on pronunciation, and you can be sure that with me you will improve on your pronunciation through the use of syllables and phonetics. Remember the following: "A teacher cannot guarantee that you will learn a language, the only guarantee you will have is the time and effort you put into learning what a teacher teach you" Quote Christiaan Ellis.
