Dr. Dumisani Sibanda

I learnt English as a second language myself and mastered it. Have taught English as a second language for over six years and studied in English up to PhD. I assure you that you will enjoy my friendly, funny, and interactive teaching style. I ask lots of questions which help you to think, learn and understand better.

For example, instead of telling you the answer, I ask you questions that guide you to think for yourself until you find the answer. This way you master the skill quicker.

Demonstration:

English language uses different parts of speech. A noun names something (dog, school, examination, love, beauty) hence it must be the subject of a sentence. A pronoun (her, him, it, them) takes the place of a noun in a sentence. An adjective describes a noun (young, old, slow, beautiful, tall, sharp). A verb is an action word. An adverb (beautifully, slowly, sharply) adds to the verb. For you to master English you must learn how to use these correctly.

1. My school is beauty. 2. My school is beautiful. 3. My school is beautifully.

Which sentence is correct? Why?

Instead of giving you the answer, I ask you questions that help you think. For example:
a) What are we talking about in each sentence?
b) Which word changes in each sentence?
c) Is that word a noun, adjective, or adverb in sentence 1, 2, or 3?
d) If an adjective describes a noun (school), which sentence is correct?
