About me:
I’m Diana, a friendly and patient English teacher from the beautiful city of Cape Town currently living in Portugal. In 2017, I completed my TESOL and TEYLT trainings and since then I have worked with students from all around the world both in language schools and online. I have lived and taught English in 5 different countries (Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Turkey and South Africa) to students of all levels (beginners to advanced). In 2021, I became certified to teach Ielts and have thus helped numerous students with their exam preparations too.
I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have studied Portuguese, Spanish, German and Turkish. Through my own language studies, I have learnt that an active conversational approach is the best way to master a language! Some of my other passions include yoga, travel, food and art!:)
My lessons:
My approach to teaching depends a lot on the level and goals of the student. Each student is unique with different necessities so I don’t have a one size fits all proposition. Lessons are tailored to you and are adapted as you progress.Expect to receive a lot of feedback, corrections and if you would like, homework activities.
In our first class, we will have an introductory lesson where I do a speaking evaluation, we get to know each other and we discuss a future learning strategy. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message :)
I hope to see you soon!

Working with Diana gave me confidence to apply for jobs which require using English on daily basis. Before we started our classes, I'd been pretty nervous about having an interview conducted in English so that's definitely a big change. Aparat from practicing general English, we covered various interview scenarios and vocabulary used in business environment.

Diana is a superb tutor. We've had quite a lot of lessons already, which I find both pleasant and hardworking. Our classes, usually based on topic I asked for, are detailed and satisfy my expectations. Also, those lessons quite often develop into interesting discussions, which feel very natural and helpful for my speaking skills. Diana also provides homework or additional materials that you can work on between lessons.
