Hannie du Plessis

Hi there! I’m Hannie, an enthusiastic ESL teacher with a vibrant background in photography. I began my teaching journey in 2003 as an Assistant Lecturer while earning my National Diploma in Photography, and I spent 5 wonderful years sharing my passion for the art. In 2014, I earned my TEFL qualification and have since dedicated over 10 years to teaching English online and in schools! My teaching style? It's all about communication! I create engaging lessons tailored to my students' interests, making learning both fun and relevant. When I'm not teaching, you can find me hiking in nature, capturing moments through my camera, exploring new cultures, or diving into psychology and self-development. Let’s make learning an adventure together! I have 5 years of experience as a photography lecturer and over 10 years of teaching English as an ESL teacher, both online and in schools. I've had the pleasure of teaching children and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I have travelled to many different locations and consider myself a global citizen. My methodology centres on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), prioritizing interaction as the primary means of language learning. I create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that encourage students to actively participate, communicate, and collaborate, fostering their confidence and proficiency in using the language in real-life contexts. With over 10 years of experience in teaching English and a vibrant background in photography, I offer a unique and engaging learning experience tailored just for you! My teaching method focuses on real-life communication, ensuring you practice speaking, listening, and engaging in meaningful conversations from day one. Expect exciting activities, practical exercises, and a lot of laughter along the way!
