  • Vocabulary

    Vocabulary allows for the correct expression of a person. This is important as it allows others to know what you are conveying. If vocabulary is obtained well learners can use this throughout their lives especially in the professional world. I can teach vocabulary which will lead to learners being ready for the professional world.

  • Writing

    I have a passion for writing and believe this is a tool all learners need to excel in their future. Learners use writing as a tool for communication not merely to be marked on. I believe writing can convey individualism of learners which is important. My degree covers English for grade 7-12. For adults it is important to convey themselves wholesomely and purposefully through writing and I believe I can help with such.
