Teacher Zanel

Hi, I am Zanel, a passionate language tutor from South Africa, fluent in both English and Afrikaans. I'm 28 years old and have been teaching online for 3 years. My approach is focused on creating personalized lessons that cater to each student's needs, whether they are beginners or looking to improve their language skills further. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading, cooking and time spent with family. I believe that learning a new language should be both fun and engaging, and I strive to make every lesson interactive and enjoyable. I look forward to helping you on your language-learning journey! I have been teaching both English and Afrikaans for over 3 years, working with students of all ages and proficiency levels from around the world. I've taught students in various online settings, helping them improve their speaking, listening, reading, conversational and writing skills. I specialize in creating customized lessons that address each student's individual needs, whether they're looking to prepare for exams, improve their conversational skills, or achieve fluency. In addition to my practical experience, I hold a TELF certificate, which has further refined my teaching methodology. In my lessons, students can expect a supportive and interactive learning environment tailored to their unique goals. I focus on creating a balance between structured learning and real-world practice, ensuring students are confident in using the language in everyday situations. I emphasize the following areas: 1. Conversational Practice: Improving fluency and natural speaking ability. 2. Grammar and Vocabulary: Strengthening the foundation of the language. 3. Pronunciation and Accent Reduction: Helping students sound more natural. 4. Reading and Writing: Enhancing comprehension and written expression. I adapt my lessons to suit each student's learning pace and style, whether they prefer a more casual conversation-based approach or structured lessons with clear goals. My aim is to make learning both fun and effective, encouraging students to feel confident in their language abilities.
