Am a Ugandan ESL teacher with a very clear, natural English accent and command. i have taught over one hundred lessons to refugee learners of all ages from Congo, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia and South Sudan. i have a passion for teaching English to people from all over the world. i began my teaching career in the Not for profit organization and this was very momentous and soul-nourishing to say the least. this has helped mold me into the open-minded, hard working person i am today.
i have experiences teaching students of all ages and backgrounds, from complete beginners to advanced students. i love to motivate my students and make learning and enjoyable experience. i try my best to make classes comfortable and allow my students to express themselves creatively and confidently in a non-threatening environment.
teaching is an honour and privilege. i find it deeply heart-warming and fulfilling to be a small part of someone's journey to learning new things.
