English Literature tutors in Rondebosch

I have always had a fascination with English Literature. This is because it it goes beyond the surface of the oridinary meaninhg and structure of words and introduces us to alternative perspectives and meanings of words. I also believe this fascination is as a result of my love for stories and the manner in which in represents reality and gives voices to abstract things that otherwise exists as loud voiceless creatures.

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. Teaching literature is a unique experience in which real understanding can be cultivated, and in which philosophy, current events, societal analysis, and critical thinking can be activated.

English was my favorite subject at school! I loved writing essays, in fact, I didn’t get below a 90% for any of mine in matric! I took both Core and AP English and loved both. I’m an avid reader and writer, which gives me a huge advantage in teaching literature skills. I learnt some great tips during high school from some amazing teachers. I’d love to share them with you, along with some fantastic notes!

I am a 23 year old UCT Graduate. I have a degree in English, History and Politics. I am currently studying law. I love to inspire a passion for learning in my students and to build their confidence. I was lucky enough to have had some amazing teachers in my life and I wish to further their legacy by giving to others what they gave to me.

I am a highly motivated and ambitious student looking to work part time throughout the year in order to learn life, and people skills, as well as assist other students to the best of my ability. I am currently entering my third year studying a BA, majoring in English Literature and Psychology, at the University of Cape Town, and would like to share my knowledge and interest in the fields of English and French with students in need of help.

I have specialised in teaching English Literature at all levels to overseas 2nd additional language speakers as well as having studied English at University and in my teaching degree. I teach grade 10 English and am able to teach all grades English as well.

I have a very academic approach to the language but also a huge appreciation for it. I write for the UCT newspaper and I've read and studies classics such as "War & Peace", " Anna Karenina" and "Don Quixote". I'm also a patient teacher and will absolutely love to tutor anyone who wants to have a closer look at the language.
