About Me
italki teacher since Nov 21, 2021Me as a Teacher
I believe in the art of communication and language is one of the most powerful tools we have at use to help us understand each other better and share our personal stories globally. As a teacher my job is to assist any learner in their English learning journey with patience, kindness and consistency. Hard work is the backbone to success in any field and likewise perseverance, therefore, I like to encourage my students to keep practicing their English vocabulary and to make mistakes in order to grow in learning.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are centered around but are not exclusive to:
- Punctuation
-Articulation
-Diction
-Figures of Speech
We look at topics such as food, music and travel to break down the learning experience and make it fun but we will also cover news and articles to improve reading abilities as well. My lessons are also flexible so should you feel like you would like to focus on a specific topic you are more than welcome to bring it to class.
I enjoy engagement in the classroom so I want the lessons to be as conversational as possible especially for the learner so they feel more confident in speech and I do give out test to assess the progress of the learner.My teaching material

Bongi is a five star teacher! She keeps the conversation going so easily... she'll come up with interesting questions and will correct you when needed in a reassuring way. Im not a confident speaker, but didn't feel embarassed once during our lesson. If you have speaking shyness, she is the person you should go to

I want to share my impressions of the classes with the instructor. She is simply amazing. Her emotionality and smile create a very friendly and positive atmosphere in the lessons, just like with American teachers. She knows how to connect with people, which greatly helps in the learning process. I especially want to highlight how well she pronounces words. If I don’t understand a sentence, she always finds a way to explain it differently, using simpler phrases. Because of this, I feel confident and comfortable in her lessons. I am very satisfied with the classes and recommend her to anyone who wants to learn in a pleasant and supportive environment.
