Hello and welcome! 👋
I’m Tamara, a South African civil engineer and certified TEFL/TESOL English tutor with over 5 years of teaching experience and 1,600+ lessons taught online. Alongside my engineering career, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping students grow into confident, capable English speakers.
I work with preteens, teens, young adults, and professionals, supporting learners from B1 to C2 level. My students range from conversational learners to exam candidates and professionals who need English for work, travel, or academic success. Being actively involved in the STEM community allows me to offer a unique advantage, especially for students who need English for technical, scientific, or professional contexts.
I understand how exciting—and sometimes challenging—learning a new language can be. That’s why my lessons focus on confidence-building, clarity, and real-life communication, while still being structured and goal-oriented. My classes are friendly, supportive, and fully personalized to your needs.
In my lessons, you can expect:
Tailored lesson plans based on your goals and learning style
Speaking-focused practice with grammar applied naturally
Exam preparation (IELTS, ESOL, TEFL/TESOL-related support)
Business and professional English adapted to your field
Interactive activities, quizzes, and optional homework
Lesson materials shared after each class
I also help students improve pronunciation, accent, and overall communication skills, ensuring steady progress and measurable results. Whether your goal is fluency, exam success, or professional confidence, I’ll guide you step by step.
Learning English doesn’t have to feel stressful or boring. Together, we’ll make it effective, engaging, and enjoyable.
