About Tanaka
My name is Lesley, and I am a TEFL‑certified English tutor currently based in South Africa. With my Level 3 TEFL Certificate and experience supporting learners of different ages, I bring patience, creativity, and clear communication to every lesson.
My teaching style is warm and interactive, focused on building confidence through conversation, grammar practice, and engaging activities. I tailor each lesson to the student’s needs, whether it’s improving fluency, writing skills, or homework support.
I am committed to professionalism and to helping students feel motivated, comfortable, and proud of their progress.

My teaching methodology is interactive, supportive, and student‑centered. I believe that every learner has unique strengths, so I design lessons that are creative, engaging, and adapted to individual goals. What makes me unique as a teacher is my ability to combine patience with clear explanations, while also making lessons fun and confidence‑building.
I am proficient in English and can also communicate in basic Shona, which helps me connect with learners from diverse backgrounds.
In a typical lesson, students can expect a mix of conversation practice, grammar guidance, vocabulary building, and real‑life activities that make English practical and enjoyable. I use props, visual aids, and interactive exercises to keep lessons lively and memorable.
My lessons are aimed at beginners and lower‑intermediate learners, including children, teens, and adults who want to improve their speaking, writing, or homework skills. Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to strengthen your foundation, I will guide you step by step toward your goals.
