About Me

I'm Tara, a South African English teacher. My accent is similar to British but with a twist.

I bring a blend of academics and real-world experience to make your English learning adventure both enriching and enjoyable.

I'm currently completing my Master's at the University of Cape Town. So, with my TESOL certification, I'm equipped with the methodologies to make your learning effective and engaging, ensuring you get the most out of every lesson.

What I Offer:

• Conversational English: From classic literature to pop culture, we'll explore it all in engaging chats.
• Academic Support: IELTS prep that doesn't feel like prep, and essays that won't put you to sleep.
• Young Adult Education: Where English meets fun (yes, it's possible!).
• Job Interview Prep: Because "Um" and "Uh" aren't impressive in any language.

Why Learn with Me?

Rich Educational Resources: I have access to a wide range of learning materials, including textbooks and online resources, which we will use to enhance your learning experience.

Experienced Educator: With over six years of teaching experience at the university level and in ESL settings, I am well-equipped to help you achieve your English learning goals.

Personalized Lessons: I tailor each lesson to meet your specific needs and interests, ensuring that you get the most out of your learning experience.

With seven years of teaching under my belt, I've mastered the art of tailoring lessons . Ready to turn your English dreams into reality? Let's embark on this linguistic adventure together!
