English Literature tutors in Pretoria

I have 10 years experience teaching English as a First and Home Language. I have 6 years experience as the subject head of languages: moderating assessments and examination papers. I have completed various courses and training to keep up to date with changes in the system. I have been Head of Department of Educational Guidance for 2 years.

Literature can be confusing especially when you have to write essays and synthesise information from the text. I enjoy analyzing text and encouraging students to make meaning of the text in order to improve their essay writing and contextual writing. Books such as Othello, Macbeth etcetera can be a little confusing but with the right guidance, one could score great marks without having to stress.

I am a published poet, writer and editor so I'm very skilled in close reading and helping students who struggle with writing essays. I excelled in English all through high school and completed upper level English courses with distinction in university.

Good foundation on primary subjects. Languages and theory subjects as well. Prior experience from teaching abroad, as I have a hobby for teaching and enjoy the environment. We use good study methods as well as a follow up programme to ensure students stay up to track.

I have better understanding of the language. My grades levels were always good. I used to help others understand the subject. I had a group in university which I used tutor them for free and also assist in writting their assignments and prepare for test.

I have achieved distinctions and awards for best academic performance in English. I also achieved the highest mark for Afrikaans. I am passionate about languages and skills that are necessary for excellence, such as spelling, grammar, sentence construction etc. I love teaching and I am very pedantic when it comes to grammar.
