Hi, my name is Martin and I am a native English speaker from South Africa, I have a TEFL certificate and am currently enrolled in my fourth year at University and earning my degree in education. I have been teaching for 9 years in various fields.
As a tour guide I had to specialise in communication and I interacted with and taught people from all around the world. Communication and teaching is my passion.
In my lessons I will teach you how to learn the way that native speakers learn a language. I use a speaking first or communication driven syllabus in combination with National geographic course material that is enjoyable and easy to follow. In the program we do not want to focus on grammar but rather learning to love to learn English, and this is done through playing games, doing everyday actions, and learning about interesting topics such as animals, plants, food, people and places.
I have young children who are beginning to learn english and the programs I teach them are the same that I teach to others.
My teaching style is mainly focused on children whose levels are elementary, beginner and intermediate. Typical lesson lasts around 40 minutes.
You are welcome to contact me for a free demo lesson where we can meet and I can introduce the teaching material and answer any of your questions.
