Talon Reddy

I have a passion for teaching accompanied by a TEFL and IELTS certification. My teaching experience includes various age groups and schools, in both South Africa and China. Teaching has kept me busy and extremely happy since 2017

Working with different age groups and levels exposed me to various programs and curricula, from kindergarten all the way through to Academic IELTS preparation lectures.

I'm a people's person and really enjoy interacting with all types of personalities. My classes are fun and interactive as I believe that creating a comfortable atmosphere is really conducive to learning any type of material.
