My Philosophy
Passionate About Inspiring Others
As a child, I found my greatest joy in novels and stories. I truly believe that we are bound together through stories and communication. The ability to communicate well - in ANY language - with emotion; passion and fluency is such a unique characteristic, which has such an immense role in the way we interact.
​
I took my love and passion for languages and people and transformed that into a career as an English teacher in South Africa. By the time I chose to spread my wings and challenge myself with something new, I had had the privilege of teaching over 1200 students. That's an amazing 1200 unique personalities, cultures and needs. This is why I feel I'm perfectly equipped to help you tackle your linguistic goals.
"English Teacher Ari" was born out of a love for languages and people. I've always had a keen eye and a determined nature. My lessons are fresh and original and above all, they cater to each student's needs. It's easy to dream about the future, but I believe that we make our own realities. If you dream of speaking English with ease, be it socially or in a business context; if you dream of acing that thesis - with minimal errors or even if you aspire to be an author, and want some extra tutoring to help you bring out the skills that you already have, I'm certain I can help you.
