Working with people is my great passion in life and doing it in a teaching setting gives me absolute pleasure and fulfilment. I am a wife, mother and grandmother and I love doing creative things. I also enjoy cooking, walking, cycling, reading and playing the piano.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been in the teaching business for many years, teaching piano lessons, English as well as other subjects. Since 2019 I have been teaching English and Afrikaans on Italki and I love every moment of it. I am bilingual and understand the challenges of learning a new language as I am also schooled in German.My aim is to help my students to become confident in their learning language and to be comfortable with it knowing their listeners can understand them.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My focus is on the individual needs of the student and I try to adapt to each one by using topics of interest on the different levels of learning. It is important to keep the lessons interesting and challenging and to make sure my student feel confident and comfortable while learning their language of choice.

Once again, a highly enjoyable and professional lesson. I got a lot out of it and was happy to see that I've made a lot of progress in Afrikaans under Marilyn's expert guidance. Many thanks!

Once again, an amazing lesson. Describing pictures (e.g. cartoons) is a very good way to learn a language and pick up new vocabulary. I enjoyed our discussion too. There was a wide variety of activities. Many thanks!

Every one a winner, Marilyn! You gave me a really good explanation of word order in Afrikaans, which inspired me to sit down and examine it more closely. Many thanks.

Once again, a very enjoyable lesson with Marilyn. Thank you for having the patience to listen to my school stories in my very basic Afrikaans :-).

Thanks for another great lesson Marilyn. I'm coming away from each lesson feeling more confident and excited to practice my new vocabulary. I'm really enjoying my lessons and am looking forward to the day when I can say " Ek praat Afrikaans".
