English Language and Literature tutors near me

I am a young, energetic individual with a healthy attitude towards others. I have a great passion for gaining knowledge and understanding what I’ve learnt. I am determined and driven, with attention to detail. I live a balanced lifestyle, and enjoy spending time outdoors, and with family and friends. I was always driven to pursue a career in Psychology. In 2010, I started my professional journey within the field. I obtained my BA Humanities degree majoring in Psychology from the University of Stellenbosch in 2012 . During this period, I volunteered at rural daycare organisations, NGO's, and animal shelters. I also worked as a Doctor's assistant during holidays. In 2013, I received my Psychology Honours (with distinction) at Rhodes University. I was also a Psychology Tutor for students. I volunteered at the Fort England Mental Institution on a weekly basis to expose patients to the world outside of the institution. I also served as a voluntary psychology counsellor on the Phelophepa Healthcare Train where I counselled over 20 clients and delivered over 15 workshops for communities with scarce to no medical resources. From 2014-2015 I completed a Masters degree in health and well-being design; working with the youth to develop a mobile application focused on providing relevant health and well-being information for the youth (specifically focusing on emotional needs). I also completed the MAD4MAD (Mobile Application Design for Medical Application Development) Mini Intensive Course, and attended and presented at the ISD4D (Information System Development for Development) research conference in Mozambique. I facilitated multiple youth development workshops pertaining to health and well-being as part of different community service initiatives. I also attended and presented the 13th Participatory Design Conference in Namibia - volunteering in the informal housing communities. In 2015, I completed my Psychometrics internship through the University of Stellenbosch; and passed the HPCSA board examination. During this time I grew particularly fond of Hesketh treatment and rehabilitation center. I volunteered there on a weekly basis - administering, scoring, and providing feedback to patients that may assist in a successful career. Currently, I am a freelance Psychometrist (Independent Practice) and Life Skills lecturer/workshop facilitator. I administer psychometric assessments and give feedback to students at the University of Western Cape as part of a grade-improvement program to assist students in creating a bright future. I also deliver workshops on all Life Skills (such as 'Healthy communication and Conflict management', 'HIV/AIDS awareness', 'Presentation skills', etc.) and Office/Business Skills. Lastly, I administer the newest full personality and/or career assessments

I am currently in my final year of studying BEng Industrial at the University of Pretoria. I am a hard-working, motivational extrovert. I am a patient person and matriculated with 7 distinctions and an overall average of 87%. I am an open and approachable person and won't think twice about walking the extra mile for someone who deserves it.

I have an extremely strong passion for teaching and have experience in teaching and tutoring at numerous schools. I have taught to kids in places like Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India, where I taught in schools to many children of all ages and levels. I believe that there is a special connection between a student and a teacher, in being able to offer knowledge, love, understanding, and a space to grow. I am an energetic, positive, and creative person, with a zest for life, and a deep patience. I have a gift of connecting with children, and am able to be one with children, as well as having the strengths of organizing, planning lessons and being reliable and hard working. I have strong interpersonal skills which assist greatly in tutoring.

I am a third year LLB student at the University of Pretoria. I am based in Midrand but I will travel to surrounding areas. I obtained various distinctions in both my first and second year. I have participated in and coach moot court.

I am a friendly and intelligent 25 year old female currently studying Early Years Montessori Teaching. I am really passionate about education and am particularly interested in helping students with their Music (theory and piano practical), English, History and/or Drama studies. I am very creative with particular interest in sewing, painting, reading, drama, dance and music. I have worked in the fashion industry (as a fashion designer, blogger, stylist and visual merchandiser), broadcasting (hosting 2 radio shows over 3 years) and most recently have been working at a Montessori pre-school as an assistant teacher.

I enjoy reading, blogging, horse-riding and teaching. I am passionate about history and biology as well as English writing and literature. I like to teach students about these passions in the hopes that it too will inspire them. Being excited about a subject is the first step to success.

I attained the NRF bursary for Honours in English Literature at Wits University and was asked to teach first year students. I have also taught many high school students and have helped them achieve distinctions in English. I am also a passionate writer and poet.
