Why Sharon Online
English is spoken here every day, and the time difference suits learners in Asia and Europe.
South Africa is 0 to 1 hour from Europe. It is 7 hours behind Japan and Korea, so a tutor's afternoon is your evening.
Our tutors are used to teaching learners from other countries. They speak clearly and give you time to answer.
Tutors hold a TEFL or similar teaching certificate, and we check it before they can take lessons.
