Meet Willem

About your tutor

Greetings to all of you! I'm Willem, and I am from South Africa. I have been an English teacher for ten years in Asia and have worked with students of all ages and ability levels. Beijing Language and Culture University was my place of study. I also earned a 120-hour TESOL certification from Uni-Prep Institute and a 168-hour Level 5 TEFL certification from TEFL Academy. I have 10 years of experience having taught at various schools, training centres and more teaching students of all ages. I mainly focus on teaching Conversational English, Grammar, IELTS, vocabulary and aslos assist in proofreading. In addition to teaching English, I am proficient in teaching Native Afrikaans and basic A1 Mandarin Chinese. Having finished a course at the Academic Institute of Excellence, I am proficient in using Autocad and Fusion 360. I will teach you the basics of using both programs to create concept drawings and designs. I am hardworking, loyal and commited to your cause. I will check your progress as we move a long. My classes are engaging and interesting. We can focus on everything from articles, to discussion topics, grammar activities, reading comprehension, vocabulary activities and much more. I am looking forward to working with you

Teaching methodology

As an ESL, IELTS, and English tutor, I strive to make learning interactive and engaging for students of all levels. I tailor my teaching methodology to match the interests and goals of each individual. Conversational English: I always try to let the student speak as much as possible to improve his speaking. Many students do not live in a an English speaking environment and therefore do not get the chance to speak English. As we go along I will correct the student on any grammatical mistakes or syntax mistake he might make., by typing the mistake followed by yhte correction in the chat box. At the end of the class I will then go trhough it with the student. Grammar: I will work out a program where we will cover every Grammar point. Once I am satidfied with the students progress we can then move to the next grammar point. I will use a variety of short educational videos that include an exercise and also teaching the gramma points myself, before I will do a an grammar exercise with the student. After the exercise I will then do a speaking activitity with the student where we will practice the grammar point he/she has learned. IELTS: I will work out a learning program where I will preactice the four parts: Speaking, writing, reading and listening with the student at least three to five times a week depending on how much time the students needs before he/she wrties the IELTS exam.
