I am from South Africa. Have owned and operated my own service orientated business for over 30 years. I have two sons and two grandchildren that I adore. I am a natural athlete and very young and active for my age (60) I run 3 times a week , play squash 2 x and do weight training 3 x a week. So at my age I have lots of life, business and financial experiences. My life journey is changing as it is my passion to travel, meet new people and learn about them while I am still strong and healthy. And in the process enrich others lives by teaching English on this journey. I especially love Europe. There is so much history and culture and the people are friendly and very accommodating. Spain is a country where I may consider to live permanently some day. Love the lifestyle.
When I have time I love to read - thrillers, action and crime. I also watch the same kind of tv shows. I also love to cook and bake as it is a very rewarding activity, spoiling your loved ones with a good meal.
I have tutored 3 young children privately on a one to one basis for the past 2 years. But as a business owner for over 30 years I taught my staff many skills on a daily basis. Not just English but business, financial, communication, etiquette skills and a
I am most comfortable with the Direct Method and conversation based lessons. I do use TPR for the little ones I tutored and CLT as well. Such as roll play, playing games, flash cards, objects, pictures, video clips, etc. For the one older student I taught him from his prescribed English handbook and brought in some of my own material as well. As I am still basically working at my own business until I am able to sell, I do not have the necessary time to gather much of my own teaching materials. But I am willing to learn from others, get the relative info needed and possibly just start slowly and so gain experience. I will always strive to give only my best at all times and be the best teacher for my student and for the school that I represent. I am a very honest, hardworking and dedicated person.
