Literature tutors in Cape Town

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.

I am able to guide on the side and assists the student with close reading of the text. I am also able to guide and engage the student in discussion regarding the text. I received great marks at school with literature and are excellent with analyzing reading material. During holidays I also love to read.

I was educated two different curriculums, from grade 8-10 I did Cambridge English Literature and Language, and from grades 11-12 I did NSC English literature and Language. I identified that there was quite a difference between the two, in regards to work load and brain power. I feel like this has opened me up to different techniques, methods and learning structure in understanding what I have read, identifying the underlying meaning, and how to put that into writing. I had close relations with my teachers, resulting to hands on help and attention, allowing me to understand and think more complex.

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!

I obtained a 85% mark in my matric year. I am also a literature writer.

English Literature is a fantastic part of the English language. I really enjoyed interacting with and dissecting the poems and books that we were given during school. I believe that I would be a great tutor for English Literature because of my passion for the topic and ability to guide my students through the content in a way that ensures maximum learning and enjoyment.

I loved English Literature in high school, it was the part of English I was most passionate about. I've also chosen it as my major at the University of Cape Town. I love analysing pieces of literature and studying them on an academic level.
