English tutors in South Africa

I am currently studying at Embury as a 2nd year student, specializing in foundation phase teaching. Teaching is a passion and teaching a Language that is not initially their first language, is difficult to grasp. But with practice and doing things step by step it becomes clear and easier.

I have been teaching English for many years with high success. My tutorship covers all aspects of English: Reading, creative writing, grammar, comprehension, public speaking, literarure and conversational English.

I am best at tutoring this subject as I have been teaching it for a long time as well as having a genuine interest in the subject. I am also able to make it an exciting subject as it is a language that is used all around the world .

I love English and everything to do with it - literature, poetry, grammar, you name it! I am TEFL-certified to teach both adults and young learners. I am also qualified to teach Business English to second-language speakers. Additionally, I passed English with an A in Matric, and I completed first year undergraduate English at Stellenbosch University. I won a Silver Award for the English Olympiad in 2009, and in that same year, I had an article published in Saltwater Girl Magazine.

I have been reading English since I was Gr 2; I studied TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and sometimes, I even think in English, even though it is not my home language! The very best way to overcome language challenges, is reading.

English was not only my best subject in high school, but also my favourite. I graduated with 90% on IEB level in matric. Thereafter, I did a pre-medical course which was conducted in English. This course broadened my knowledge, but also cofirmed my love for the English language. To substantiate this point, I have a strong aptitude for languages and I will study in English. Thus, it is clear that I will be able to help students learn the language of the world!

I am an excellent English language tutor with years of understanding, tutoring, and speaking of the language. I also have a passion for languages which makes me a good tutor. I will help the student learn efficiently and effectively.

I practice how to truly listen to the needs of my students. I believe that teaching and learning happen in relationships. I have seven years' experience teaching English to students of all ages and levels. From beginners, through babies to doctoral students.

English is my mother tongue and I am very skilled in languages. I have a vast variety of resources to aid in learning. I have access to current curriculum. I make learning fun and exciting, using a variety of methods that are tailor made to suit your individual needs.

I excelled in this subject from primary school to matric. I love the language, and I have experience in teaching it (been tutoring English with a volunteer programme since February 2018). In addition to this, I have minored in linguistics in my degree - this has taught me how one acquires language, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and has expanded my knowledge on language rules and structure.
