Online English Lessons with experienced TEFL certified teacher

From 22 C$ /h

I’ve been TEFL certified and teaching English online for over four and a half years.

I’ve taught hundreds of students from all over the world including China, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, and many other countries.

My students have ranged from very beginners all the way to advanced students so no matter what your level is I am confident I can help you achieve your goals.

In our first lesson together, we will do a needs evaluation, and from this, I will put together a personalized study plan for you. So whether you need to pass an exam, prepare for a job interview or presentation, or maybe you just want to improve your overall fluency, I will ensure that you have a clear plan and timeline for how to achieve those objectives.

My teaching style and methods are guided by my belief that people learn best not only when they find it enjoyable but when they can see the practical, real-world value of what they are learning. So, the materials we use in our lessons will be informed by what your needs, goals, and interests are.

Aside from my teaching certification, I also have a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology so I have a strong interest in and love for science and technology.

I have also been a professional transcriber for over 7 years. So, I transcribe English audio into text for clients from all over the world. I find this very useful as an English teacher because I’m trained to decipher a plethora of different accents and speech patterns.

I believe in being patient and encouraging whilst maximizing student talk time to help you build both your abilities and confidence levels.

Our lessons will be a relaxed environment for you to practice, learn, and improve your English skills.

So, if that sounds like what you’re looking for then send me a message, and let’s get started!

About Me

Hi!

I live in Cape Town in South Africa.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology so I have a strong interest in and love for science and technology. I am TEFL certified and I have been teaching English online to adult professionals for over four years. I have taught students of all different levels and linguistic backgrounds.

Through my teaching experiences and TEFL studies, I have gained an appreciation for the value of English as a global skill that can open doors and expand horizons. I am committed to helping you acquire and master this skill.

I have traveled to many countries and even lived in a country where I did not speak the language and had to learn it, so I understand the challenge that learning a new language presents.

My teaching style is guided by my belief that people learn best not only when they find it enjoyable but also when they can see the value of what they are learning. Keeping that in mind, I always take a real interest in my students' lives so that I can help them see the benefits and enrichments that English can bring to their personal and professional lives.

I believe in being patient and encouraging whilst maximizing student talk time to help build my students' abilities and confidence levels. Our lessons together will be a relaxed environment for you to practice, learn, and improve your English skills.

I love learning just as much as I love teaching, and I enjoy interacting with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

I look forward to helping you on your journey to English fluency!

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:

- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Do you want to use English with more confidence at work or in everyday situations, but traditional courses haven't helped you express yourself as you need? I'm Ian, a native English speaker with a PhD in English and experience teaching at the university level and as a second language. I'm also a language learner and have lived abroad, so I know firsthand some of the challenges of learning and using another language.

The classes are designed for adults, especially professionals and intermediate to advanced students (B1–C2). We'll start by discussing your goals, level, interests, and availability, and then design a practical and realistic plan. Depending on your needs, we'll work on conversation, listening comprehension, pronunciation, vocabulary, applied grammar, and writing. We can practice meetings, presentations, interviews, and other specific situations, using films, TV series, music, or topics that interest you as learning materials. You'll receive clear feedback and a manageable pace for continued practice between classes. The priority is to use English regularly and express yourself confidently: grammar is at the service of communication.

You understand English, but the words do not come when you have to speak? I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified (over 10 years of experience, IELTS, TEFL). I built my own AI coaching assistant: it spots what holds your speaking back and creates exercises from your own mistakes, so that you speak with confidence in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

Hello, I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified, with over 10 years of experience (IELTS, TEFL). I have taught children, teenagers and adults, online and in person, in France, Turkey and Australia, and online with students in China and all over the world.

Most lessons show you what went wrong during the lesson. Mine tell you what to fix next, and give you the practice to fix it.

I teach because I love learning languages and I love showing people that they can learn them far more easily than they think. Traditional methods make it hard, but learning can be easy, enjoyable, interesting, inspiring and faster than you expect. I taught myself French, Spanish and Turkish, and I can show you how to do the same.

The students I like to work with are genuinely motivated to improve and ready to put in 15 minutes every day, following a clear, simple and effective system, to improve in a few weeks, not a few years.

I use the latest technology alongside proven methods. I built my own AI coaching assistant for language learning (AI Coaching Assistant Agent for Language Training): it analyses your speaking to pinpoint exactly what holds your English back, then creates exercises for your particular needs. Together we build your full language profile (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency) and put a system of regular practice in place, so that you speak fluently in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

How it works:

Your language profile. At the start, I record and analyse your speaking, using my AI assistant and my teacher's ear. This shows your pronunciation habits, your recurring grammar errors, the breadth of your vocabulary and your fluency, so that we work on what matters for you rather than on a generic syllabus.

Exercises made for you. My assistant and I create exercises from your own mistakes and your own goals: a job interview, IELTS, meetings or everyday conversation. You never practise what you already know.

A routine that sticks. We set up regular practice between lessons, short and realistic, with a new analysis to measure your progress. This is what shortens the road to fluency, because most of the learning happens between lessons.

First lesson: we assess your level, clarify your goals and start your language profile. You leave with a practical plan built around how you learn best. Whether it is for work, study, travel or pleasure, book your first lesson.
