About me
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I am Rifat and I hold a Master's degree in Commerce and have 20 years’ experience in business and the energy sector. Additionally, I have a level-5 TEFL certificate from the TEFL Academy in the United Kingdom.

My industry experience over the years includes training workshops for groups, staff, and management focused on improving business management functions. I enjoy creating relevant teaching materials and coursework tailored to students’ needs. As an educator, I bring advanced research skills with proposals and report-writing experience. These provide a rich resource for English language teaching and make the learning experience more relevant. This journey ensures communication skills and language mastery that’s specific to your career and industry.

My pedagogy and teaching strategies strongly favor a student-centered approach focusing on finding a balance between receptive and productive skills to achieve optimal language acquisition. I rely on advanced online resources in the classroom.

I'm really pleased with how the platform operates. It was effortless to discover teachers who perfectly matched my requirements. The lessons I received were exceptionally satisfying, and I feel like I've made significant progress in my English within a short period. The ability to create and personalize my lesson schedule to suit my work commitments was a huge advantage.

I enjoy learning English with Jacob and Brian. Their teaching style is relaxed, and I find it easier to understand English now. The website is user-friendly, and I appreciate receiving reminders for each of my lessons, the free cancellation policy is very useful!

The platform is simply amazing. The teachers are also incredibly warm and friendly. I took advantage of the discounted introductory lessons and had the opportunity to meet different teachers. The lessons are more like a friendship than a teacher-student relationship.

Emma teaches my daughter English in a very fun way. She is always cheerful and makes the lessons more enjoyable. I consider it a great opportunity to have met Emma through this application and to have her teach us English!

I started learning English from scratch. I worked with Teacher Umut for the first 3 months. When I reached a level where I could communicate without Turkish support, I continued working with my teacher Jade. I am very satisfied with the system. I recommend it to anyone who wants to take lessons regularly and aims to overcome English as a barrier in their life.
