Writing tutors in Cape Town

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, including law, health, various hobbies, non-fiction, biographical works, and much more, and would be willing to engage with all ages to increase their English knowledge.

I am passionate about English prose, poetry and creative writing. Skilful creative writing enables students to think more creatively and laterally in everyday life. I also teach students to write formal and logical letters and documents. Skills that are required for the workplace.

Writing is something I've always been good at. I seem to be called on by friends and family to word emails, or essays, or letters of resignation; I will help you find what you truly want to say in whatever writing form you need; informal, formal, casual... I'm your guide.

I have knowledge of how children of primary school should be able to write since I worked at Dots Learning Centre in Durbanville for a while. I am also very patient, therefore if the child struggles or takes his/her time I will have the patience to wait and help him or her when necessary even if it takes a lot of time.

I have 4 years experience tutoring and managing after-school projects in various areas around Cape Town and drew up curriculum booklets for SHAWCO Education at UCT aligned with the CAPS curriculum in Numeracy, literacy, sports and more from grade 1 to grade 10s.

I am an aspiring writer myself and I have extensive experience in writing academic, as well as fiction pieces. It is a skill that I have spent years developing and is a craft that I hold dear to my heart.

I consider myself a story teller. As someone who studied History and Art History, writing essays have not been a struggle for me. I wasn't one who struggled to reach the minimum word count, but rather struggled staying under the maximum word count! In Art history, students were required to write a minimum of 3 pages per question, so not only has essay writing, story telling and, question observation been a born love of mine, I have learnt the methods, tips and tricks in writing.

I received an A for English in high school, for all three papers - literature, creative writing, and vocabulary. I also took English literature and vocabulary in my first year of university. I absolutely love English. I have over 5 years of English tutoring experience. I have spent almost my entire life writing, be it academic papers, journal articles, or fiction and fantasy. I have a real passion for it.

With young children, I am trained in teaching spelling and basic sentence structures (and have taught for two years). At high school level, I obtained 91% for my IEB English portfolio which contained various types of writing pieces. As an university student, I am well practised in writing academic essays on a variety of topics and have on average received As for all English assignments.

I have worked as a technical writer for over two years, and have been involved in the academic industry for over five years. English is my native tongue and I aspire to always write and speak the highest level.
