Subjects taught
  • Writing

    I have a passion for English. It is imperative that in addition to speaking the language one should be able to write in a logical and fluent manner. I have a very good understanding of the language, especially in written form.

  • English

    I have a passion for teaching English. Many people can speak and understand the language, but use incorrect tenses, struggle to compose logical and coherent sentences, are not on the reading level they should be and battle with spelling and grammar. I enjoy helping people have a better understanding of the language.
