About
I am a native English speaker based in South Africa with a post graduate degree in Business. I also have a TEFL/TESL qualification in teaching English as a Foreign/second language.
I am of the opinion that the most important and noteworthy requirement as a trainer/lecturer is to engage and involve learners in a positive and fun environment.
My teaching philosophy is to make lessons as interesting and relevant as possible and to base lessons on the spesific requirements and preferences of learners.
I live on the coast and enjoy surfing, mountain biking, music, painting and travelling in my leisure time.
