About Me

Hello! I’m a South African artist living in Madrid where I’ve been teaching English for two years. I hold a TEFL Certificate, a Bachelors in Performance and Visual Arts and a Masters in Psychology. I’ve taught across all ages and levels from preprimary in schools to advanced level corporate clients. Some of my students have been high level communications executives, foreign affairs journalists and art museum tour guides whilst others have been budding five year old philosophical geniuses. Through my experience as an actress performing in theatre and my masters in psychology I’ve developed a style of teaching which is fun and interactive but also patient and mindful. I like to encourage confidence in my students to speak about things that engage them whilst guiding them in their use of the language in a way that liberates them rather than overwhelming them. Through my actor training I’m particularly good at helping with pronunciation. I’ve lived in several different countries including the USA, the UK and Belgium. I speak relatively good Spanish and conversational French and love to learn about different people.
