Biografía:

I am an ESL teacher from South Africa with nearly 25 years of experience in law and business. I live on a game farm in the African bush with my husband and our four dogs. In my free time, I enjoy reading, solving puzzles, and creating digital art. I hold a law degree, a TEFL qualification, and I am also a certified life coach. I teach General, Business, Legal, and Lifestyle English, customizing lessons to meet each student's individual goals.

Mi metodología de enseñanza:
In order for me to create the best lesson plan for a student, it is important for me to understand what a student requires – • what they want to learn, • why they want to learn it, • what are their goals, • what they require from me as a teacher, etc. Answering these questions will help me to create a suitable lesson plan for my student and prevent wasting valuable time on useless lessons that will not serve my student in any way. In order to help my students, I create a lot of visual aids to help them understand the lessons. Once I have explained a new concept, I will give them exercises to ensure that they can implement what they have learned. I also give homework to enable the student to practice what they have learned on their own time. Any feedback is given immediately in order to prevent bad language habits from forming. I strive to create a welcoming and friendly environment that will enable you to gain the confidence to learn and grow. I enjoy making students part of their lesson planning by encouraging them to let me know what they want to focus on.
Mi experiencia docente:

I have been teaching English as a second language for about two years now. I focus on students who want to learn or improve their General, Business, Legal, or Lifestyle English. I teach English grammar, reading, speaking, vocabulary, and/or writing skills in various fields. Business English: improving interview skills, presentation skills, negotiation skills, HR, IT, project management, and everyday business English, etc., Legal English: legal vocabulary, litigation, commercial and contract law, labor law, copyright law, privacy laws, IT law, support staff, etc. Lifestyle English: primarily for coaches who specialize in Life, Wellness, Health, and Spiritual General English: topics such as daily life, food and dining, travel and transportation, shopping and money, family and relationships, technology and media, environment and nature, and health and lifestyle.

Mi experiencia fuera de la enseñanza:

I have been in the legal field for almost 25 years. I started as a paralegal while completing my law studies part-time. I finished my clerkship articles (internship), passed the bar exam, and began practicing as a full-time lawyer. My main areas of expertise include litigation, commercial and contract law, & family law. Additionally, I have experience in criminal law, labor law, copyright law, IT law, and privacy laws. I have hands-on experience in both corporate & private practice. After my legal career, I launched an online business where I help online entrepreneurs in making their websites legally compliant. I also initiated a breeding project for exotic guinea fowl species & birds. Furthermore, I have been involved in the rehabilitation of wild animals and birds. I also completed a course in life coaching. At the end of 2022, I started teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), focusing mainly on helping adults improve their general, business, legal, & lifestyle English skills.
