Wesi Claire Chichindua
Summary
I'm a TEFL-certified tutor with 2 years and 8 months of teaching experience. I enjoy creating lessons where students feel comfortable using English and learn with confidence. I have taught English to students aged 6 to 48 from different countries and helped them prepare for Cambridge exams, interviews, and everyday communication, so that even if they travel, they don't have any issues or can confidently communicate in English. I have also worked in a primary and high school, where I introduced extra classes and activities to help learners reach their full potential. I believe that every student learns differently and I enjoy finding simple and engaging ways to help them succeed.
