Bio

I consider myself to be a creative and an academic: a mixture that has made my life most interesting. I have a passion for languages, reading, writing and the dramatic arts.

I have tutored all types of people: adults and children from both all backgrounds, and thus have much experience with the job. I believe that leadership by example is the best way to go. Being a tutor would mean wanting the best for my student academically, as well as personally. I would hope to inspire a student both in the classroom and outside of it.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have a passion and a talent when it comes to the English language, as I have a knowledge of the technical elements of the discipline as well as a creative spark which makes for a well-rounded grasp of the language.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12

Afrikaans is my second language as my father is Afrikaans-speaking so I grew up with speaking it at home. I understand the difficulties of the language and believe that it is beautiful and intricate, and not beyond any student's understanding.

French

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have a deep love for the French language and stress that French can only be fully learned and appreciated by making it more than just a subject that you study at school.

  • University Tutoring

English Literature

First Year - Third Year

I majored in English Literature at the University of Stellenbosch and I have an ardent love for reading and writing and have an in-depth knowledge of many books studied at various universities.

  • Language Tutoring

English

Beginner - Advanced

Along with an appreciation for the more abstract elements of the English language, I have a firm grasp on all aspects on the language side of English and having struggled with language myself for a brief period before cracking it.
