Jolanda

Hello! My name is Jolanda. I'm a South African, currently living in South Africa. I am a qualified ESL instructor. I have completed my 120 Hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL Certificate with an average of above 80%. I teach Beginners and Intermediate. My training includes: * the basic four skills (speaking, reading, writing and listening), * communicative language (e.g. turn-taking when talking, asking for clarification), * types of interaction (e.g. obtaining goods and services) * and more linguistic skills (e.g. lexical range, phonological control). I have been a stay-at-home mom for most part of my life because I chose to help my children with their school work and activities rather than having a professional career. I am passionate, motivated and patient. I believe all learners have different preferences to learning and different capabilities, so the learning approach should be tailored to each individual students' needs and goals. I like using colorful materials and a variety of activities to keep learners engaged and motivated. Having fun while learning is the best wat to enhance learning.
