Hello. My name is Leslie. I am a qualified, experienced teacher. I am a South African and a native English speaker. I look forward to meeting you so that I can help you to improve your English. Let's have fun lessons together. I have had an exciting career as a classroom teacher, assisting many students to become confident in the speaking, reading and writing of English. Many of the students that I have taught have English as their second language. I have found it enormously rewarding helping them gain confidence in all aspects of English. I believe that my lessons are exciting and practical, involving all the senses and visual aids. As an adult, I have learnt two South African languages, so I understand the challenges of learning a language and building the confidence to speak a new language. I have experience in developing an English curriculum and lessons for second language English students. I, therefore, have a good understanding of what aspects should be taught, in order to develop a holistic approach to teaching English. Over the years, I have held leadership positions which have helped me develop the skills necessary to encourage adults and students to achieve their potential. I love seeing people strive to achieve their best. I will encourage you as much as I can, and we will learn together. I am really looking forward to meeting people across the world and learning about different cultures. This is an exciting opportunity to get to know each other. I hope to hear from you soon. Leslie
