I am a personable and patient individual with a strong ability to think logically and analytically. I strive for giving my all in any activity I undertake and love any opportunity to share knowledge.

I am naturally calm and patient in nature, and believe strongly that learning should be a fun thing, and not seen as a chore, and as such, I aim to ensure my lessons are interesting and exciting.

Subjects

School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I have always had, and still do have, a passion for languages. English is my native language and I excelled at it during high school. In university, I studied General Linguistics which teaches about the science behind language learning - which will prove very helpful in language teaching.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Afrikaans was a subject I always enjoyed due to my Dutch background, it sometimes came very naturally to me while at other times was a very interesting and new challenge when something was opposite to how it was in Dutch. I love the simple rules that Afrikaans has (unlike English).

Language Tutoring

French

Beginner

French I wish I learned from birth, my mom speaks it fluently and I am so jealous about this! In university, I was finally able to fulfil my dream of studying the language. I do a little bit of French every single day; making my phone's language French, reading an article, or listening to a song.
