Tutors in Henley on Klip

I am a young and passionate young woman with a love for psychology and children. I aim to broaden my experience in education and child-care in preparation for a future in psychology. I am dedicated and driven, and I believe in exploring various approaches to problems in order to meet everyone’s needs. I matriculated from Roedean School SA with 7 distinctions and went on to graduate from the University of the Witwatersrand in BA General with distinction, majoring in Psychology and Music History. Later, I received my Honours in Psychology at the same university. In 2020, I studied a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) through Stadio Institute of Education, and I am now a qualified teacher. Despite it being a principal aim of the latest CAPS curriculum, many learners feel that their individuality is overlooked in the classroom. I believe that - as a teacher - one needs to acknowledge and cater for the different learning paces and strengths in the same class. Thus, I believe in integrating various learning styles; first building a foundation and then letting my learners explore how they understand concepts best. Therefore, I believe that patience is indeed a virtue, and I promote co-operative learning in the classroom. When it comes to extra support, I prefer to build on the learner’s classwork as a foundation, and then discovering and providing for specific areas that the learner finds difficult. I have found that breaking a subject down into specific problem areas helps learners understand concepts better and be more capable in building on that knowledge in the future.

I enjoy Teaching English as it gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge and learn different cultures. It’s not only about grammar or making better sentences but it is also about having the chance to speak up and to be heard. I do believe that everyone can learn and speak English whilst having fun too!
