Heidi Van Der Spuy

My teaching methods are based on the goals and learning preferences of my student, whether you're a business professional, student or child.

If you are a business professional, I'll focus on speaking and listening, crafting lessons that use the vocabulary you need in your specific industry. We'll do lots of role plays so that you're more than ready by the time you need to interact with your colleagues or clients in English. I'll also identify the grammar that you struggle with so that you sound fluent and professional and stop making those mistakes.

If you are a student needing to pass a language exam, we'll focus on exam preparation, exam techniques and whichever areas you need to improve in to ace your exam.

If you are getting ready for an overseas trip, we'll focus on conversation and useful vocabulary and phrases you'll need for getting around. You'll sound like a local in no time at all!

I have much experience teaching both adults as well as students and children in formal contexts such as learning centres (Berlitz) and English academies (Spain).

As a professional voice artist, I have much experience in training people to present and pronounce English. So, if your goal is to improve your pronunciation, you'll be happy to know that I specialise in this area.

I'm also a writer by profession with an excellent command of English grammar, and am therefore able to assist you greatly if your goal is to improve your writing and grammar skills.
