About Thando Olivia
Hi there! I’m a friendly, approachable teacher who believes learning should be enjoyable, relaxed, and confidence-building. I’m 24 years old, and outside of teaching, I enjoy drawing, practising yoga, hiking, swimming, pottery, and reading.
My teaching journey began when I was 16, tutoring my peers and siblings. Two years ago, I took the next step and began teaching professionally to international students, gaining valuable experience working with learners from different backgrounds.
I hold a BA in Public Administration and English Language Studies, which has also equipped me with academic writing skills and a strong foundation in English.
While I maintain a professional approach, I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable, supported, and confident enough to make mistakes. My goal is to create a welcoming learning environment where you can express yourself freely, grow at your own pace, and enjoy the journey of learning something new. I look forward to learning with you!
