 Art: we had two very intersting videos and a great discussion about the given topics. Time flies, even after a double lesson I could easily go on for a third one :-)

 Impossible for me to review 16 lessons. Sorry. I 'd say: not necessary anyway, because J is a great teacher any time. Focused, patient, providing excellent material to interesting topics. On top, she is willing to adjust herself to my - often unexpected - needs concerning my time managment. I consider ratings as an out dated feature of things that are not 'rateable', but can't resist now: From me, she gets 10 stars out of 5. Thank you Jay!!!!

About me - English

My name is Teacher Jay Jay!

I am 33 years old and live in South Africa.

My native language is English, but I can also speak Afrikaans fluently and I can communicate a little in Dutch.

I have my Bachelor in Teaching and carry a 150 hour Advance TEFL/TESOL Certificate and have been teaching Online English on Verbal Planet since May 2023..

I take pride in helping my students prepare for interviews, IELTS Tests or just wanting to communicate more effectively in English.

My hobbies include spending time outside camping, walking my dogs and gardening. I am very creative and enjoy painting, pottery and doing DIY Projects.

I also enjoy spending the day reading a book, watching old movies and building puzzles, depending on my mood!

I make use of TPR and Conversational Methods, but I focus on making my lessons fun, informative and memorable whist taking into account my student's personalities and abilities.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor of Teaching - University of South Africa 2021

150 hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL Certificate - TEFL Universal 2023

Teaching Approach

My approach to teaching is based on my students.

I try to establish their level of competency as early on as possible and then adapt my lessons to their needs.

I identify which methods the student responds to best, whether that be CLT or TPR, I ensure that the Student Talking Time is at it's maximum with each lesson.

Communicative approach would be mostly used along with Task-based, as I believe both have a way of keeping students engaged and interested in learning to speak the language effectively rather than grammatically correct.
