Lelani V - Tutor in Birdswood

I have a Bachelor's degree in Education and I am also TEFL certified. I love teaching and believe that I make a difference in the lives of the students I teach. I love helping students find clarity when they find a learning area difficult and the best is to see how students suddenly grasp the challenging concepts.

Subjects taught

    As languages are my passion it is important to appreciate languages and know the correct pronunciation and spelling. I love teaching students Afrikaans stories, how to write sentences correctly and how to communicate effectively.

  • Writing

    It is very important to be able to apply yourself to writing exercises. It is beneficial to be able to explain yourself in writing. Knowing how to write an essay or letter will benefit the learners greatly in the future.

    I love reading and I am a qualified reading therapist. I believe reading is the cornerstone of all subjects and I love teaching students how to read and pronounce the words correctly. Comprehension is also a very important area and thus it is very important to comprehend what you are reading.
