About Me

Hello my name is Soraya Ferreira. I am a South African national who has recently opted for early retirement to pursue a career in teaching. Married for 20 years, with two grown children who no longer require my nurturing and teaching, I have all the time in the world to teach learners of all ages. I am available to start teaching immediately, having completed by studies in teaching, qualified and accredited as a TEFL tutor.
I am a very patient person, energetic and loves challenges. I enjoy reading books and watching movies, crosswords, puzzles and anything that appears to be challenging, such as “Who wants to be a Millionaire”.

My qualification as a teacher was achieved through TEFL Academy, GA Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (i to i), comprising of the following modules:
English Language Teaching & Learning in Context
Lesson Planning & Resources in English Language Teaching & Learning
Teaching English Language: Vocabulary, Grammar and Pronunciation
Teaching the Four Skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing
Teaching English One to One Online
Teaching Business Online
Teaching Business English
Teaching Other Subjects in English
Prepare Learners for an English Language Examination

My experience in teaching stems from previous employment in the Insurance sector of the business world, where I was responsible for training and teaching staff and colleagues since 2004. In doing so, it taught me that preparation is key to teaching success.

My approach and methods of teaching is very dependent on my learners. Each learner is different, in that they learn and comprehend differently from one to the other, therefore my teaching approach must and will change accordingly. I will go beyond the call of duty, exceed expected levels.
Lessons with me will be fun, filled with activities suited to the various ages and needs. I love using props, videos, recordings, books and pictures available to bring home the lesson.
