Natalie

Hi, I’m Teacher Natalie. I live in a cozy town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. I’ve been working as a Teaching Assistant since 2012 and have also spent time tutoring homeschool students, which has given me valuable experience working one on one with learners of different ages and abilities. I hold a TEFL certificate and am passionate about helping students grow in confidence and skill.

Outside of teaching, I coach Aerial Silks in the afternoons, which reflects my love for movement and creativity. I also enjoy reading, spending time at the beach, going for walks, and being surrounded by nature. These interests help me bring a calm, positive, and encouraging energy into my lessons.

My teaching style is interactive and student-focused. I use Total Physical Response, which combines language learning with movement to make lessons more engaging and memorable. I believe strongly in encouraging independent thinking and self-learning through hands-on activities. Rather than simply giving answers, I guide students by asking questions and helping them discover solutions on their own. This approach builds confidence and supports long-term growth.

I aim to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and asking questions. At the moment, I conduct lessons using Zoom, making it easy to connect and learn from anywhere.

I’m excited to meet you and begin this learning journey together.
