Patria

Hi there! My name is Patria. I am an English teacher from South Africa and I've been teaching for more than 10 years. I have a degree in Education and an Advance Diploma in Dramatic Arts. I have taught at many different schools, from public schools, to private schools and even rural schools, mostly focussing on Drama and English, but for the last 5 years I've been teaching English online. I really enjoy teaching adults with an emphasis on improving their Business English and conversational skills. I use my drama experience to help students improve many areas of their speaking such as pronunciation, articulation, body language, eye contact, accent reduction, fluency and many other aspects of speaking, to help them feel more confident and sound more natural. I can help you prepare for that stressful job interview by improving your business English, or help you improve your informal communication skills so you can master small talk and make many new English friends whilst traveling abroad. I enjoy helping business professionals prepare for public speaking events, presentations and those dreaded Q&A sessions at business seminars. I will tailor my lessons according to your own personal learning objectives and make sure that you are having fun whilst improving all areas of speech. Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss your goals, get to know each other and improve your English one lesson at a time. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
