B2–C1 adults discuss ideas in English, from science and technology to culture. Practise supporting an opinion, questioning evidence and changing your mind gracefully in a lively discussion.
A short reading or image starts the discussion. I give you time to build an argument, take the opposite position and reflect on the expressions that helped you make your point precisely.

I’m Tiasha, a South African English teacher. I help adults prepare for interviews, speak up in meetings and present their ideas clearly. Bring a situation you’d like to handle in English. We’ll rehearse it, work on the wording and try it again. In my group classes, everyone gets time to speak and individual feedback they can use at work.
I hold a Bachelor of Education in Senior Phase and FET Teaching from the University of Pretoria, specialising in English and Natural Sciences. I also hold a 120-hour TEFL qualification and am registered with the South African Council for Educators.
I taught English Home Language at secondary school and also taught at primary school in South Africa. Since May 2026, I’ve taught international adults online, individually and in groups. My business English lessons include meeting simulations where learners practise disagreeing tactfully, explaining a decision and confirming next steps.
