Hello, I am Adele. I am a qualified and certified TEFL and IELTS teacher. I live in the beautiful city of Cape Town, I´ve also lived and worked as a Marketeer and a Councilor in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. I can speak Afrikaans as native speaker. I love to talk about ballet, reading, hiking, as well as spending quality time with friends and family. So, if you enjoy talking about these topics, I guarantee that we are going to have lovely conversations and share sweet and fun memories.
Me as a Teacher
Hello, I am Adele. I am a qualified and certified TEFL and IELTS teacher. I´ve helped more than 700 students achieve their goals in life, teaching them real-life English skills. I´ve more than 7000 lessons taught across 4 years of online teaching. I´d like to share with you that all my students score high in the IELTS exams, with half of them having at least a band 7.5. Amazing, isn´t it? To achieve these incredible results, we follow a strict lesson plan for each skill combined with a lot of revision work and reading mock tests.
In our lessons, I´m going to encourage you to speak 80% of the time during each lesson and I´ll be speaking, tutoring, and directing you 20% of the time.
My lessons & teaching style
My style of teaching is tailored to match the students' necessities as I focus mainly on teaching what they need to become proficient, whether it is reading, writing, speaking, listening, or comprehension. You are more than welcome to book a trial lesson so that we can assess together how we are going to conduct our lessons.
I love to help my students polish their pronunciation, enrich their vocabulary, and perfect their usage of idiomatic expressions. I do this, through a design plan (which is conducted alongside you), so that, given a certain length of time I can provide personalized feedback on your progress and point out aspects that need to be addressed to improve your English skills.

😍I am really worried about whether I could reach band 7 or not. But she told me that I am already on this level, so this truly serves a kind of motivation for me to keep fighting.

Adele is so great that she gives me much useful advice to improve my IELTs speaking score! Thank you very much. If you are looking for a native speaker who is also a professional English teacher, I will recommend her to you! She always gives me positive feedback during the speaking practice.
