English Lessons in Lynnwood Ridge with Willem B

Bio

I am a voracious consumer of science, books, interesting facts and literature. An aspiring academic, researcher and lecturer working towards sharing and creating new knowledge.

I believe the first ingredient in guiding others on their path of knowledge acquisition is helping them see where it fits within the greater design of a concept, or simply how they will use it in their everyday lives. I endeavor to share my enthusiasm and knowledge of the natural world and languages with learners with patience, humour and kindness.

Reviews from others

“Excellent”

- Esti

“Mr Boshoff not only helped tutor me but went above and beyond what would often be expected whilst tutoring.He helped me understand the work I am currently engaging with and whilst it has only been the first two days of school for me; I am already confident in the subject matter as I feel I have already gone over the work in way more depth than what is being asked of us. I am really happy with the “services” he provided and cannot wait to keep applying what I have learnt with him in my studies. I can’t really say much more besides thank you so much, stay safe sir.”

- Guide

“Willem is an excellent tutor, that stems directly from his lovely personality. He has the perfect temperament to tutor, and has a lot of patience.”

- Ulane

“After each lesson, Amo gives me feedback about the lesson and on top of that, she wants to tutor me. What I admire the most is that, Amo explains and also giving practical examples, which clearly shows that she has grasped and understood the lesson and her confidence is on another level. She never showed interest in studying the subject but now I have noticed a big change, she studies without being pushed. I am very greatful to Willem and I really admire the positivity he is injecting in her. What I also appreciate about Willems is his patience and understanding especially when circumstances are unfavorable on my side. I really appreciate him and the work he is doing. he is the best.”
