About Yolanda
Hello future students!
My name is Yolanda, and I am from South Africa. I am a friendly, patient, and caring English teacher who loves helping students learn and become more confident in speaking English.
I have many years of experience working with children and young learners, and I also have a 120-hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL certificate. I enjoy making lessons fun, interactive, and easy to understand. I use activities, conversation, games, pictures, and TPR (Total Physical Response) to help students learn naturally.
I became interested in teaching because I love seeing students grow, learn new things, and gain confidence. For me, teaching is not just about learning English —it is about creating a comfortable place where students feel happy to speak, make mistakes, and keep trying.
I can't wait to meet you, learn about your interests, and help you reach your English goals!
Let's learn English together and have fun along the way!

Hi everyone! My name is Yolanda, and I’m from beautiful South Africa!
Are you ready to make learning English fun, exciting and easy? Then I would love to meet you!
I’m a friendly, patient and caring English teacher, and I absolutely love working with children and helping them become confident English speakers.
I have 12 years of experience working with children from birth to 6 years old, as well as 7 years of experience teaching children up to 14 years old.
I also have a 120-hour Advanced TEFL/TESOL Certificate from a university, which has given me the knowledge and skills to teach English effectively to students from different backgrounds and levels.
But my classes aren't just about sitting quietly and memorising words!
I believe children learn best when they are having fun, moving, talking, playing and feeling comfortable.
In my classes, we can use Total Physical Response, or TPR, with lots of actions, gestures, facial expressions, repetition, songs, games, pictures and conversation.
So instead of translating every word into your first language, I help you understand English through actions, pictures, situations and simple English.
For example, if I say “Jump!” — we jump!
If I say “Touch your nose!” — we touch our nose!
And if I say “Show me something red!” — let's see what you can find!
This makes English feel natural, memorable and exciting.
I also love getting to know my students and finding out what makes them smile. We can talk about animals, toys, school, family, food, sports, cartoons and all the things you love!
And a little bit about me…
Outside of teaching, I love singing, going to the gym, spending quality time with my family and, of course, spending time with children.
I bring my energy, patience and love for teaching into every lesson because I want every student to finish class thinking:
“Wow! I can speak English!”
So, if you're looking for a teacher who will encourage you, listen to you, make you laugh and help you build your English confidence, I would be so happy to have you in my class.
Come and learn English with me! Let's learn, laugh, move and have fun together!
I can't wait to meet you.
See you in my classroom! Bye!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Yolanda as an English teacher, and I can confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and dedicated tutor. From the beginning, she has created a comfortable and welcoming learning environment where students feel encouraged to participate and are never afraid to make mistakes.
What I particularly appreciate about Yolanda’s teaching style is her ability to make lessons fun, engaging, and easy to understand. She is patient and adapts her teaching approach to suit each student’s individual needs and learning style. Her friendly personality, excellent communication skills, and passion for teaching make her especially wonderful with children and young learners.
One experience that stands out is seeing how she uses creative activities, repetition, gestures, and Total Physical Response (TPR) to help students understand and remember new English vocabulary. She doesn't simply teach English—she makes learning an enjoyable experience that builds confidence.
Yolanda is passionate about helping her students improve, and her experience, qualifications, and genuine love for teaching are clear in every lesson. I would highly recommend her to any student or parent looking for a professional, supportive, and enthusiastic English tutor.View more recommendations
