Lauren J.

Hi there! My name is Lauren, and I’m a native English speaker from South Africa. With over 3 years of experience teaching English online, I have had the pleasure of helping students from all around the world, including children, beginners, and advanced learners, improve their language skills. My lessons are engaging, interactive, and tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring they build confidence and fluency in a fun and supportive environment. I hold a TEFL 120-hour advanced certification, and a 60-hour TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners) certification. These qualifications allow me to create engaging, effective lessons tailored to your specific needs. I also have a nursing diploma and am currently in my final year of studying psychology, which helps me understand different learning styles and adapt my teaching methods accordingly. My teaching approach is 100% learner-centered, meaning every lesson is designed around your unique needs, goals, and learning style. We focus on your target goal, whether it’s improving grammar, articulation, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, speaking, or listening. Lessons are conversational and interactive, allowing you to practice real-world communication with confidence. **I Can Help You With:** Business & Workplace English – Improve communication for meetings, calls, and presentations. Fluency & Pronunciation – Speak confidently with clear articulation. Grammar & Writing – Strengthen grammar and enhance writing skills. Exam Preparation – Specialized training for IELTS and OET. Reading & Studying – Boost comprehension and academic English. Interview & Travel English – Develop practical language for job interviews and travel. **Resources I Use:** 🎥 Videos and Audio Clips 📊 Interactive Presentations 📝 Flashcards and Worksheets 🎭 Role Plays 💬 Discussion Prompts 📝 Custom-designed materials tailored to your needs **How I Assess Your Level** 📊 In our first trial lesson, I will assess your current level through a friendly conversation and short activities. This helps me understand your strengths, areas for improvement, and specific goals. Based on this assessment, I will create a personalized lesson plan to help you progress efficiently. I believe in creating a positive, encouraging environment where you (or your child) feel comfortable to express yourselves and learn. Let’s get started on your English learning journey! 🚀
