Bio
I’m passionate about the Oxford comma, sunsets, and bookcases. As a dedicated tutor, I bring this same enthusiasm to helping students excel in their studies.
I acknowledge that the learning experience should always be an enlightening and exciting one, even if it is challenging. My love for literature has played a part in developing my empathetic nature, and I believe that this empathy is also reflected in how I impart knowledge to others.

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBI was an A-student in French throughout high school and won the subject prize from grades 10-12, because I was dedicated to learning the language.

English
Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEBMy love for English literature in high school led me to study Advanced Programme English and participate in the De Beers English Olympiad to improve my skills in literary analysis. I got a distinction for the subject, so I can help you do the same!

English Literature
First Year IEB Advanced Programme EnglishI studied Advanced Programme English in grade 11 and 12 which allowed me to engage critically with a range of texts. I can assist with drafting excellent essays on poems, plays, and novels.
- Language Tutoring
French
Beginner - AdvancedI’ve been studying French since 2013 and went to France on exchange in 2015. I sat the DELF/DALF exams in 2019 and completed my French major at UCT. I was a French conversation class tutor at UCT in 2020 and taught French at the Alliance Française in 2022. I worked in Brussels, Belgium for a year.
English
Beginner - AdvancedI have enjoyed sharing the English language with others for as long as I have been experiencing other cultures through different languages! I have done a CELTA course so that I no longer teach from the perspective of a ‘native English speaker’, but as a qualified teacher. Let’s achieve your goals.
