About Me
Hello there. My name is Ali and I am here to teach you English like a native speaker. I am really outgoing and I love to meet new people, so I can’t wait to meet you!
I have a TEFL certificate and over 5 years of teaching experience. I started my teaching career in Vietnam and completely fell in love with it. Since then I have taught English in Kindergartens, private language centres in Vietnam, private tutoring in South Africa and I have a steady stream of regular online students.
I have experience teaching all ages and levels. I currently have a wide variety of students from all walks of life with unique learning goals. I’m very caring and supportive in my classes. This is a safe space to have fun, make mistakes and learn together. I believe we all learn in different ways, and that is my approach to teaching.
Send me a message and let's have some fun learning together!

This is my favorite English teacher! We have classes over the year and throughout this time my level increased significantly. I like materials Ali uses in the class, she always has something interesting and unexpectable. She's full of energy. Excellent teacher and excellent person!
