Hi there and thank you for taking the time to view my page. Below you'll find more information about me, my lessons, and my teaching style.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
About Me
My name is Alwyn, and I come from Cape Town, South Africa however, I currently reside in Chengdu, China.
I enjoy hiking, composing music, watching a good movie, or taking my two energetic dogs out for a walk. I'm quite busy, so I don't get to do these things as often as I'd like to, but I do take every chance I get.
Another interest is learning new things and I often find myself reading about topics such as physics and astronomy. I find those topics extremely interesting.
I'm easy to have a good relationship with, patient, kind and friendly. I'm considerate while teaching and understand that learning a new language is difficult.
I encourage my students to keep trying and to not feel ashamed when they make a mistake during our lessons. It's through those mistakes that I can help you improve your English, and it's through those mistakes that you become stronger.
My teaching experiences
I have approximately 11 years of experience teaching English as a second language, both offline and online, and have helped many students reach their language goals.
Whether you want to learn English as a hobby, for an exam, a new job or because you're planning a trip abroad, I have a course that will suit your needs.
About my lessons
I offer extensive feedback after each class, which ensures you get as much information out of each lesson as possible.
I also offer (optionally) homework which you may complete in-between lessons to help cement the new language points we covered in our lessons. This is, as mentioned, entirely up to you.
Additionally, before our lessons start, I do a needs analysis to better understand your goals and requirement to ensure the correct lesson materials are used.
In other words, whether you're preparing for an interview for a job as a flight attendant, teacher, sales manager, or a CFO, my lessons and their content will be tailored to you and the specific job you're interviewing for.
My lesson Content
I use all of the following:
- Textbooks
- Readers
- Online articles
- Audio/Video
- Worksheets
I constantly look for useful material/content that my students might appreciate, and I'm open to suggestions. In other words, if there is specific content you'd like to use, we can do so.
Conclusion
If this description sounds like the type of teacher you're looking for, go ahead and book a lesson so we can meet and discuss the next steps in your English learning adventure.
There is no better time than the present. Act today and take the first step in becoming a more fluent English speaker.
I look forward to meeting you, and until then wish you all the best.
