Toby

My name is Toby and I’m a native online English teacher from South Africa, with experience teaching adult learners (group and 1-1 classes) from different backgrounds and
proficiency levels. I have taught for professional, academic, business and conversational English, focusing on practical language use they can apply in real-life and work settings. My teaching approach is learner-centred, supportive, and goal- oriented, helping students build confidence in speaking, improve accuracy, and communicate clearly. I adapt lessons to suit individual needs and use structured materials to create engaging, effective online classes. I focus strongly
on speaking , writing and listening skills, encouraging students to participate as much as
possible through guided practice and structured activities. At the same time, I adapt my pace depending on the learner’s level and personality to ensure they feel comfortable and successful. My goal is not only to teach English but to help learners develop confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning.

My personality lines up well with this position. I am a vibrant person that loves working
with people from diverse backgrounds. I love to discover new things and learn as much
as possible. I am a person who always goes the extra mile in anything that I do.
