Profile
I am a 31-year-old native English speaker from South Africa with a neutral (slightly British) accent. With 9 years’ experience teaching English as a native/home language in private schools in South Africa, I am a skilled and passionate teacher. I have a Bachelor of Humanities degree majoring in English and Psychology and I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Education. I also have a 190-hour INTESOL accredited online TEFL qualification. My most recent job was at the German International School of Cape Town, where I taught Grade 5-12 English. I also taught Grade 10-12 Life Skills and because of my passion for students’ wellbeing, curriculum design, and my good interpersonal and organizational skills, I became the Head of Department. Most of my students’ native language was not English and so I used many of the ESL strategies that I learned – such as using TPR, flashcards, props, and increasing student talking time. I LOVE teaching people of all ages, proficiency levels and personalities.

    Plan of for this week

    I want to use my time efficiently. So last week I tried to sleep 3 hours on each/per day.
    Though I had many times than before, but actually I can't use it. It was just hard to focus on something what I needed to do.
    So I'm going to sleep 5 hours 30 minutes in this week. Also Then I'll write a report on after each days about my body's status to let you know how I am feeling.

    * Though I had many times than before, but actually I can't use it. (this sentence does not make sense. Please write it again in different words so that I can try understand what you mean.)

    Well done Koji on learning how to cook these delicious dishes. Reading this made me hungry. :-) Here are my corrections. If you need writing lessons or any other English lessons, feel free to check out my teacher profile here: https://www.italki.com/shannonstride



    Start to learnLLearning  Cooking as for weekend family events in my family

    I started to learn cooking from my wife because in order to help my wife to cook, though only on weekends. However (comma), I rarely cook as usually, I don't have the elementaly cooking knowledge of cooking.
    I was taught by my wife who explained recipes in detail each time I asked from beginning to end. Especially, For example, I cooked miso soup, pork cutlet, and stir-fried bean sprouts. I don't know whether I was able to help my wife, but it was enjoyable and so I will study cooking more often to help my wife from now on!

    Why do people play games?

    In my opinion the main reason make people playing games is to have fun and enjoy their time . Some of people play games because they like to experience every thing different things. Having a challenge is another important reason to for playing games.

    Hi, this looks like an IELTS essay topic. If you need help with IELTS tets preparation, please visit my teacher profile: https://www.italki.com/shannonstride Please find below my corrections for your introduction. 

    Some people think it's good for kids to grow up in cities. Others think it is better for them in the countryside. Please describe two views and give your opinion.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1) Where is better for children to grow up, cities or countryside? Each one has different answers. Some think it's better for children to live in cities, while others prefer their children more to live in countryside. In my opinion, though there are several advantages of living in cities, 2) I tends more to let my children live in countryside during his/her childhood.

    1) It is considered informal to start an essay with a rhetorical question. Try this opening line: 

    The question of whether city or countryside living offers a better childhood is debatable. 

    2) The essay topic wants you to state your opinion, not your current living situation. Thus, I would rephrase this sentence: 

    I tend to/I am more inclined to want my children to grow up in the countryside as I feel it offers a better childhood experience than cities are able to offer.

    It's not slang. We call it a colloquialism which means it is the ordinary, everyday informal language that people commonly use. It means 'Ís that true?'/'Really?'

    Mohamed I would  think that accent is similar to the Scottish accent. I also love Game of Thrones!

    The correct way to say this would be: Ï see that you love to joke". This is a truthful statement and is neither a compliment nor an insult. Your tone of voice and facial expressions would then show her if you think her making jokes is something you like or dislike.

    It is unfortunate that she blocked you without an explanation. This is a classic case of a misunderstanding.

    I find I love other accents such as the Arabic-English accent, more interesting than my own. Perhaps it is a case of finding anything new and unfamiliar intriguing. Novelty is nice.

    I have never listened to the Swedish-English accent, but I hope to some day get a Swedish student so I can hear their accents.
