English Literature tutors near me

I felt very passionate about English at school: writing, reading, literature, poetry, language... anything. English was my best matric mark and I took Advanced Program English at High School as well.

I excelled at English in Highschool. I also completed the IEB Advanced English course and am currently studying first-year English at Wits. Thus, I have had plenty of experience with English literature and how to analyse it.

I achieved excellent marks for my literature in matric and have won a few prizes for some writing pieces. I have a broad vocabulary and a wild imagination as well. I can help with transactional pieces such as essays, letters, summaries as well as set novels for each grade.

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.

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 years.

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.

I am an education editor for an internationally accredited higher education institution, and I have former experience in lecturing English and Philosophy to both first and second/foreign language students. I received training and have teaching experience in both Australia and South Africa. This experience comprised both school- and university-level teaching and tutoring.

I have been tutoring English literature for over ten years and believe that it is a subject that everyone can enjoy if approached right. I am passionate about literature and enjoy teaching the deeper meaning behind the stories.

I have studied First Language English at a private all-girls school from grade 0 through to grade 12. I studied English Literature for 4 years throughout university as it was one of my major subjects for my Bachelor's degree. I am trained as an English as a foreign language teacher and have taught children in Thailand for over a year. I also have online teaching and tutoring experience with children as well as adults. I am currently studying for a Post Graduate Certificate in Education online.
