About Ian
Hello and welcome! My name is Teacher Ian, and I’m an English tutor who specializes in teaching beginner children in a way that is fun, supportive, and truly effective. I am passionate about helping young learners build their confidence and communication skills in English—step by step, and always at their own pace. I use a friendly, interactive teaching style that includes games, songs, stories, and conversation practice. My lessons are designed to keep children engaged, relaxed, and excited to learn. I believe in creating a positive learning environment where mistakes are seen as part of the process and every child feels safe to speak and try new things. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans and can also provide support in areas needing improvement. This can be especially helpful for children who are just starting to learn and may feel nervous. While I do not hold a formal teaching degree, I am dedicated, professional, and committed to delivering high-quality lessons that are both educational and enjoyable. I have developed my skills through years of regular communication, practical teaching experience, and a deep understanding of how children learn best. In my lessons, your child can expect: Clear and simple explanations Speaking-focused practice to improve real-life communication Patience, encouragement, and positive reinforcement Activities tailored to their age, level, and interests If you're looking for an English tutor who is patient, creative, and truly cares about your child’s progress, I would love to work with you. Let’s make learning English a fun and rewarding journey!

My lessons are based on a speaking-first, play-based approach. I believe children learn best through engagement, repetition, and creativity, so I incorporate games, songs, stories, and real-life conversation practice into every session. I focus on natural language use, helping children understand and speak English comfortably — not just memorize words. What makes me unique is my ability to connect with each child’s personality, adjust my teaching to their learning pace, and make even shy learners feel at ease.

I’ve improved so much in a short time – my speaking is more confident, my grammar is better, and I’m not afraid to make mistakes anymore. The teacher always adapts the lessons to exactly what I need, and every class feels like it was made just for me.
