Hello, everyone! My name is Vee, and I’m 28 years old, living in the beautiful country of South Africa. I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, with majors in English, biology, and psychology. I also have a 120-hour TEFL certificate.

I have two years of teaching experience working with both young learners and adults. Additionally, I specialize in tutoring students who are preparing for the IELTS Speaking test.

I’m friendly, bubbly, and passionate about teaching. I love helping my students achieve their goals and build their confidence in English. I look forward to working with you and making your learning journey enjoyable and successful. Thank you!

I have been working as an accountant and in a commercial bank for the last 15 years. During my career I have been exposed to various industries and have built up a good understanding of these industries. My Business English vocabulary is also very good due to my exposure to the mentioned industries. I enjoy teaching English as this provides me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people and help them to achieve their career goals. My approach is to identify the area of interest for the student and base the lesson and questions around this.

After graduating in 2013, I embarked on a two-year adventure in North America, working in the Travel Amusement industry. In the personnel office, I assisted with hiring and onboarding, managing payroll, and handling administrative duties. Being far away from home for long periods of time, this position taught me to be strong, independent, self-reliant, flexible and resilient.

Upon returning to South Africa, I served as a Personal Assistant to a Managing Director in the Sports & Entertainment sector. This role enhanced my organizational and administrative skills, providing crucial support in a fast-paced industry.

I then transitioned to the automotive industry, where for four years, I thrived as a Sales and Marketing Manager. My responsibilities included leading a sales team, managing sales pipelines, orchestrating both boardroom and virtual meetings, and driving marketing and advertising initiatives across social media platforms. I also kept the company website up-to-date, attended expos, and ensured exceptional client satisfaction. During this position, I learnt various skills such as Digital Marketing, Marketing Communications, Critical Thinking and Creativity.

For the past three years, I have been dedicated to enhancing the educational experience of 200 first-year students at UNISA's College of Human Sciences. As a Teaching Assistant, I provided comprehensive support in navigating the online learning platform, announced critical assessment deadlines, attended online classes, and addressed student queries regarding the module and their assessments. My main duties included marking online assessments, submitting my marking to the department for moderation, releasing marks to the students and delivering constructive feedback to promote academic success. This position has enhanced my communication and time management skills.

To summarize the above, I bring a wealth of diverse experience and a proven track record of excellence in various fields.

Hello my name is Edie and I am so excited to become your English teacher! I am a TEFL qualified, native English speaker from Sheffield in the United Kingdom.

I have experience teaching both adults and children, online and in a classroom setting. I can help improve your English grammar, vocabulary, academic writing skills and conversational English. Whatever your reasons for learning English, I will adapt our classes to ensure that they are engaging, informative and relevant to you.

I really believe that improving language skills can help you lead a more enriching life and I am passionate in helping my students achieve this. I myself have experience in moving to another country and I really struggled learning a new language. What I found helped me the most were patient and understanding teachers, and that is what I will be for you! Thank you and I look forward to working with you
