Hi there.

0:02

My name is Christine.

0:04

I'm 34 years old and I'm from South Africa.

0:07

I'm currently living in Spain.

0:09

I work as an online English teacher.

0:12

I have been teaching English

0:14

as a second language since 2018.

0:17

I started in Vietnam in the public schools.

0:20

My classes were around between 50

0:23

and 60 students, um, age range

0:26

between six years old and 18.

0:29

And then I had some other individual students

0:32

where they were well into their adulthood,

0:36

sometimes past retirement age.

0:38

And now as an online English teacher,

0:41

I cover all age groups.

0:43

My approach to teaching English is

0:48

to create a very comfortable environment

0:50

where my students feel confident to speak to me.

0:52

If they make any mistakes, I correct them.

0:55

And I use those corrections as the foundation

0:58

for the teaching materials that use in our future lessons.

1:03

I'm also able to come up

1:07

with lesson strategies based on your

1:09

individual learning needs.

1:10

I'm also an art teacher.

1:13

I've been an artist since I was 21 years old.

1:18

Since I have left my job in London,

1:21

I have traveled the world where I paint full mural

1:25

illustrate children's books or coloring books for adults

1:29

and tattoo design.

1:31

I would very much like to take the knowledge

1:34

that I've gathered over the years and share it with you.

1:37

My approach to art instruction is

1:41

to move a little bit more away from the mainstream learning

1:45

and build your confidence in your ability

1:50

to create and innovate.

1:52

This could be a lot of fun.

1:55

I look really forward to meeting you.

1:57

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
