Shantelee Bothma

I am a passionate and dedicated English teacher with 2 years of online teaching experience and a 120-hour TEFL certification. I enjoy working with students aged 4 and up, helping them build confidence and improve their English communication skills in a supportive and engaging environment.
My teaching approach is student-centered and interactive. I adapt my lessons to each learner's level, goals, and interests, using a mix of guided practice, conversation, and creative activities to keep lessons both effective and enjoyable. I also focus on clear pronunciation, grammar accuracy, and real-life language use, with additional experience supporting IELTS-focused learning where needed.
I genuinely love teaching because it allows me to connect with people from different cultures and help them grow in a meaningful way. Seeing students gain confidence and start expressing themselves more freely in English is the most rewarding part of my work. I aim to create a positive, encouraging space where students feel comfortable making mistakes and learning at their own pace.
