English Language and Literature tutors near me

I always encourage learners to do their best, work hard and obtain more than they believe they can. I’ve taught senior and junior learners, so I have experience in both foundation phase, senior phase and FET phase.

I have 4 years experience tutoring and managing after-school projects in various areas around Cape Town and drew up curriculum booklets for SHAWCO Education at UCT aligned with the CAPS curriculum in Numeracy, literacy, sports and more from grade 1 to grade 10s.

Literature has been my absolute passion since a young age. I'm never without a book to read and I love reading between the lines to deepen my experience. I took English as my major during my undergraduate studies.

With the exposure I have had, I've been able to expand on key characteristics such as patience, empathy, understanding and care which enables me to be a great tutor. I believe tutoring should be tailored to the specific student and I have become adept in identifying the best means for a student to achieve a deep understanding of the work/subject at hand. I would also consider myself to be quite relatable and I would always ensure that the student is comfortable and confident to participate in lessons and to work towards any goals that are set.

My undergraduate studies involved courses in literature and language, both in English and German. When I matriculated in 2014, I also obtained distinctions for both these subjects. As a Masters student in Anthropology, I now spend the vast majority of my time on academic writing: playing with theoretical texts, producing ethnographic tracts based on fieldwork. A curiosity about language and the many ways in which one can use it is central to my studies.

I have 7+ years of experience tutoring English at all levels other than University or College. I have a proven track record of helping students improve their grades by at least 20% in 3 months. I completed high school with an 82% grade for English.

I have English on Third Year level at University and specialised in Shakespearean Literature and Creative Writing. I have also been teaching English for the past 5 years including grade 12’s and have also marked Grade 12 final examinations for the last 3 year

I have always had a love for reading, as well as delving into and writing my own poetry. I thus enjoy showing learners the world behind words and punctuation. For learners who struggle with abstract thought, I am able to describe even the works of Shakespeare in a more understandable way for the more technical minded.

I am the best tutor for this subject as I am extremely passionate about the English language! I received distinctions for English language in High School as well as at university. I am well read and am able to analyse literature well. I am an extremely competent English speaker as well as writer and will be able to assist students with Essay writing and creative writing and orals. I will also be studying an advanced diploma in Copywriting in 2021 by which my English writing skills will be further enhanced! I have also completed a 120hr TEFL course, meaning that I am qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language.

I have used English as a language of communication in all my education life and I have more than 10 experience teaching English. During my teaching experience, I have managed a pass mark of not less than (95%). i have the ability and experience to identify and address the unique needs of learners to enable them to achieve the best possible results.
