Afrikaans tutors near me

I speak fluent Afrikaans and have since a young age. I received a distinction for Afrikaans (First Additional Language) in matric. My close friend group is mainly Afrikaans speaking and therefore I am well practiced in the language.

I am very good at teaching Afrikaans as it was one of my favorite subjects throughout high school. I have also tutored my classmates and younger siblings in this subject and can speak Afrikaans fluently

Being fully bilingual in Afrikaans and English makes me accutely aware of the minor mistakes and I have a patron to help people understand the rules of languages. I have said time and time again to many of my friends that Afrikaans is such a difficult language to learn because of its intricacies and twists and turns, but when you have mastered it, it is pure poetry when you hear it spoken (or sung).

I scored in the 90’s for my final results in high school, and thoroughly enjoy sharing tactics on how to master and appreciate the subject. I can assist with both language skills and study of literature.

To me, teaching is not a job but a labor of love. I have teaching knowledge and experience that stretches over a period of 40 years. I am still an active teacher and currently teach grade 12 students for a private company. I am also a qualified remedial teacher. This knowledge assists me in helping students to cope with learning impairments. My teaching experiences stretch from pre-school to university level. I love to interact with students and use the total physical response method in my classes.

Afrikaans has always come easily to me, but not to many of my friends and past students, therefore I have developed key phrases, tips and tricks to best help you ace your grade in a fun and easy way!

As Afrikaans as my Home Language, I have always had a special love for it. I know that the spelling of certain words, sentence construction and word types can sometimes be extremely daunting, whether Afrikaans is your first language or not. Writing short stories and poems in Afrikaans is also one of my favourite things to do.

I have an Honors degree in Biokinetics and a undergraduate degree in sport science. I took Physiology and Anatomy all 4 years of my University studies. My passion lies in helping individuals reach their goals whether academic or fitness.

I grew up in an Afrikaans house hold and attended a predominantly Afrikaans university (Stellenbosch). Whilst attending an English school I naturally started giving peers and younger grades lessons as this was a subject that I excelled in and have a passion to share. This has given me a good base to become and Afrikaans tutor and make it as easy as possible for the student.

I am an Afrikaans speaking lady, born and raised but all my schooling has been done in English. I feel like I am the best tutor for Afrikaans because I am able to communicate fluently in both English and Afrikaans which will nearly nullify an confusion or miscommunication. I took Afrikaans First Additional Language as one of my subjects in both Primary and High School and am therefore well educated in the subject and able to assist students.
