Chelsea A - Tutor in Plettenberg Bay

Hi, I'm Chelsea and I have a passion for English. With my qualifications and experience, English will soon be a subject that you enjoy! I love breaking Shakespeare and poetry down into language that is easier to understand which is so important for this subject. I also love creative writing and would enjoy working with you to form and develop pieces you are proud of. Breaking grammar down into bite size chunks is something I have been doing for years and is easier to manage when approached like this. With my communications degree and teaching post graduate, I am qualified to work with you to achieve your language goals. While teaching in Limpopo I received awards for the results my grade 11 and 12 students achieved in final examinations. I am passionate, dedicated and motivated to walk your English journey with you!

    Novels, Shakespeare and poetry are all loves of mine and I would enjoy exploring your set works with you! If it's a play, book or poem I am not immediately familiar with, I am more than willing to take the time to learn and break it down before any lessons.

  • Grammar

    I have experience teaching grade 10, 11 and 12 grammar in a fun and meaningful way.

Turn the challenges of grammar into achievable hurdles that we can overcome together.
