Foundational Phase to Advanced Teacher

Marishe

Hi, I'm Marishe!

I'm a passionate and dedicated English educator who believes that learning a language should be an exciting and rewarding experience that builds confidence. I have a degree in Psychology, which includes Child Psychology, as well as a teaching qualification that I completed cum laude. My educational background has helped me develop a deeper understanding of how students learn and grow, which I bring into my teaching.

I have always had a love for the English language, and I am passionate about helping my students improve their skills and become more confident in expressing themselves.

My teaching style is tailored to each student's individual learning needs and personality. I believe that every student learns differently, and I strive to create lessons that are both enjoyable and meaningful. One of my biggest priorities is creating a safe and welcoming classroom where students feel comfortable expressing themselves and practising their English without being afraid of making mistakes. After all, mistakes are a natural part of learning, and every mistake is an opportunity to improve!

Building strong relationships with my students is something I truly value. I love getting to know them and hearing about their hobbies, interests, and everyday lives. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable with their teacher and know they are supported. I want my students to feel that they can share their thoughts with me and that I will encourage them throughout their learning journey. Seeing them grow in confidence and celebrating their progress with them is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy doing puzzles, arts and crafts, and playing games. I also love singing and dancing! I practised modern dancing for twelve years and Sport Fitness Aerobics for four years. Animals are another big part of my life, which is why I volunteer at a local animal shelter. Helping animals in need is something close to my heart, and it brings me great joy to make a difference in their lives.

My teaching philosophy is simple: Every student deserves to feel valued and believe in their ability to achieve their goals. I am committed to providing quality English language education and creating a positive learning experience for all my students.

I look forward to getting to know my students and being part of their English-learning journey. I hope to help each student grow in confidence and develop a genuine love for learning English!
