Teacher Bridget

Hello! My name is teacher Bridget and I'm a 28-year-old counseling graduate from Botswana. I'm passionate about education and helping others succeed in their learning journey. I recently completed my TEFL certification and have a background in counseling, which has equipped me with strong communication skills and the ability to support students in a compassionate and understanding manner. In my free time, I enjoy reading, volunteering as a youth counselor, and staying active through playing tennis or chess. I'm also interested in personal development and love exploring topics related to psychology and well-being and lastly learning different cultures and languages. I'm excited about the opportunity to share my knowledge and support you as you work towards your English language goals. I believe in creating a positive and engaging learning environment, tailored to each of your needs and learning style. I have experience teaching and counseling in various settings, particularly focusing on youth and peer education. I volunteered as a school counselor and peer educator with Face the Nation in 2021, where I provided guidance and support to students on topics like behavior change, mental health and life skills. This role allowed me to develop my teaching skills and adapt my approach to meet the needs of diverse learners. Additionally, I've been volunteering as a youth counselor at Mebala Youth Studios in 2023 and with the Isago Foundation, working with individuals with disabilities. These experiences have honed my ability to communicate effectively, build rapport with students, and create supportive learning environments. I hold a TEFL certificate, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to teach English to non-native speakers. I completed my BA in Counseling in May 2024, and my academic background further strengthens my ability to teach with empathy and understanding. My teaching style is supportive, interactive and student-centered. I believe in creating a relaxed and positive learning environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself and asking questions. I tailor each session to meet your specific needs and goals, whether that involves conversation practice, grammar exercises, building your vocabulary or learning business English. I like to incorporate real-life scenarios and examples into our lessons to make the learning experience practical and relevant. My approach is patient and encouraging. I’m here to guide you at your own pace and help you build confidence in your English skills. Together, we’ll celebrate your progress and work through any challenges you encounter.
