Hello!

Hello! My name is Shaaista. I am a native English speaker from South Africa. I have a wide range of experience and I have worked with learners between the ages of 3 years to 15 years, from beginner to intermediate level. I love to assist with conversational English (speaking), vocabulary, pronunciation, reading, writing, and comprehension skills. I have 20 years of teaching experience and I believe that anyone can learn English with fun! My hobbies are sightseeing, reading, watching movies/series, socialising, meeting new people, as well as teaching English. I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!

In my free time, I love sightseeing, watching movies/series, whenever possible reading a 'good book' and meeting new people! I am passionate about teaching English and learning about other cultures. I have three lovely daughters, whom I absolutely adore, and love new experiences.
