👋 Hello! I'm Izzy, a native English tutor from of South Africa, deeply passionate about education and dedicated to helping students achieve their language learning goals. With a background in teaching and a passion for nurturing young minds, I take joy in creating dynamic learning environments that foster curiosity and growth. 📚 Beyond my love for teaching, you'll often find me indulging in my passions: singing 🎤, dancing 💃, reading 📖, or baking delicious treats 🍰. These hobbies infuse my lessons with energy and creativity. I consider myself fun, creative, and deeply curious, especially when it comes to exploring new cultures 🌍 and meeting new people. 👥 I'm dedicated to fostering a supportive and welcoming space where students can thrive and explore their full potential. 🌟 I have over 4 years of experience in childcare services and academic support, complemented by a 120 hour TEFL certificate. 👩🏻‍🏫 I've had the privilege of teaching English to students aged 3-13 in one-on-one settings. Through this experience, I've honed my understanding of child development and effective communication with young learners. 💬 Additionally, I've offered academic support across various subjects, helping students achieve their goals. 📚 Whether it's guiding young learners in their first English words or aiding older students in refining their language skills, I'm dedicated to fostering nurturing learning environments where students can flourish and discover their potential. 🌱 My teaching styles include total physical response (TPR) 🧏🏻‍♀️, and I enjoy incorporating props and rewards. 🌟 Each lesson is a personalized journey tailored to the unique needs and learning style of every student. Whether we're singing songs 🎶, playing games 🎲, or engaging in interactive activities, the focus remains on creating a dynamic and engaging learning experience. While we prioritize fun 🤹 and interactive learning, we also foster a supportive atmosphere where students feel empowered to take risks and grow. Mistakes are not only accepted but celebrated as valuable learning opportunities. 💡 Together, we'll explore the English language in a way that resonates with each student, ensuring that every session is a step forward on their language learning journey. 🚀
