Grammar tutors in Cape Town

I am a qualified teacher and I completed a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course in 2010. I have been teaching English in this capacity for almost 10 years now, and I have become extremely proficient in teaching all aspects of grammar. I have the ability to teach different grammar concepts in a concise and comprehensive way. I have taught grammar to foreign language students and to new TEFL trainees at the language school where I am currently employed. I am very passionate about teaching grammar as the reward of seeing students improve in their grammar usage is extremely fulfilling.

I have a degree in English Literature from Varsity College where I graduated at the top of my class with 19 distinctions. I have a knack for essay writing & have a tried-and-tested essay formula which can be applied to any subject.

As a prolific bibliophile and practicing attorney, I have a very good command of the English language. I have an extensive interest in a variety of fields, and a very good eye for grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I explain principles well, and offer insights which are often outside of the scope of the usual academic programme.

English grammar is critical for students progressing in English. Students must be able to construct sentences correctly with the necessary word order so that they show an understanding of the specific theme of the text. Effective communication requires grammatically correct language. This includes spelling too.

I achieved 96% for this subject in my final NSC examinations in 2018, which was the 5th highest mark in the Western Cape and the top mark at my school, Herschel Girls, which was the top academically performing school in the western cape that year.

Being an English major and an avid reader, I am able to command language and understand how it functions. I would be able to break down language and help explain it in a way to help it make sense to you.

I'm providing a combination of academic language skills, professional working skills, and tutoring experience in English. It is my prior language of communication in everyday life, and since I learned it myself in the high school setting, I am skilled in vocabulary, grammar, and writing. Plus: let's make it fun :-) I enjoy enabling you to bring out the best results in a fun way!

I am an Applied English Language Studies and General Linguistics lecturer. I have been teaching for 5 years, and have experience not only with lecturing, but also with tutorial classes, private classes, and additional support classes. I am also currently doing my PhD in Linguistics.

English has always been one of my favourite subjects. I am an avid reader and I am fastidious about grammar, punctuation and the likes! In high school, I did both English first language (FAL) and Advanced Programme English. I achieved a distinction for both. I also have experience in teaching English. I am patient and thorough which I feel are both important skills when teaching English. I hope to instil my love of the language in all of my students!

Assisting students develop their writing skills and use of grammar in the primary phase is vitally important. I am best able to assist students in this task by presenting work and grammar rules in an engaging way that helps them to remember and assists in the correct use of grammar in their written work.
