Tayra M - Tutor in Equestria
I am a High School English Home Language who has been teaching matriculants for 2 years now. I have an honours in History where I focused on the intersection between history and film - trust me, this is very interesting. My passion for English means that I absolutely love teaching others and I am able to make Shakespeare a lot easier.

Experience
Teacher
I teach English Home Language to grades 9, 11 and 12. I have also taught grade 10s. My day consists of a lot of poetry and literature ( these are my passions), I love showing my learners how studding English can benefit them in their everyday lives. My biggest joy comes from learners who are able to question the world in which we live, and can do so with well constructed arguments. While I don't teach History anymore, I often get to discuss our history with my learners.
Teacher
I taught English to grade 8 learners and History to grade 11 learners. Unfortunately, my job was just too far away to maintain working there. However, I absolutely loved teaching such a diverse group of learners!

History
While I teach English, I have an honours in History from the University of Pretoria. I tutored first years students there and have experience teaching History to grade 11 learners. I find that History is best learnt through mastering summary techniques and improving essay writing skills.
