About Me

MBA, Business Entrepreneur, Technology & Engineering

Hi there! Welcome to my teacher’s profile. My name is Heinrich and I am an English teacher from South Africa. I would love to be your online teacher!

I have worked in China and Austria so I understand how important it is to develop your intercultural and conversational skills in this globally connected world. It’s great to meet people from different countries and cultures. However, communication can be a huge challenge.

In our lessons, we will work on all areas of the English language to improve your proficiency, fluency and confidence in the language. We will have topic-based discussions and I will correct you when you make mistakes so that you can become a more fluent and confident English speaker. Aside from speaking English, it’s also important to develop your written skills. So, I will give you some written tasks to do as well.

Are you looking to improve your English for business? I have a degree in Industrial Engineering, Masters degree in Business Administration (MBA), and will also submit my PHD proposal in Business administration this year. So, I am very aware of important business terminology and would love to work with you on developing your English for business.

My classes are very relaxed and I use a conversational approach to learning English. We will centre the lessons around a specific topic, using articles and videos to stimulate conversation. I’m keen to know more about your areas of interests. Are you a sports fanatic, are you into the latest technology, or perhaps you follow entertainment news?

Let’s chat about your English goals and aspirations, and together we will design a specific program around your needs and take you to a place where you are confident with your English abilities. I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your English journey.
