English skills tutors near me

I have been teaching various students of all ages and I am confident in my abilities to help students with English in all aspects of the language. I have taught phonics, reading and writing, listening and speaking skills.

I have always had a passion for the English language. At high school I achieved a distinction in English. I have also had previous experience in tutoring students at university that required a strong command of the English language.

I have studied BA Languages at The University of Pretoria, which consisted of me studying grammar and literature aspects of English (first additional language), Afrikaans (home language), Spanish and French. I am well equiped with knowledge and I have a year worth of experience of tutoring.

A lot of the time learners do not know how to start writing a story, how to practice for an oral/speech or even how to study effectively. I can teach the learner certain skills that will help them in each section of English and other subjects.

As a home language speaker I know English in a way that other tutors might not, I know the particularities of the language. However, as a teacher I also know how inaccessible the language can be. As such, I am the best tutor for this subject because I can help you access the language in a way you might not have been guided to before, in a way that English is moulded by you and not the other way around.

I adapt easily to people, especially the individual I would be tutoring. I practice problem solving on a daily basis & as a tutor it is important to find solutions to make tutoring fun, easy & understandable for the individual. I use my creativity to also keep the teaching interesting. I am mobile & flexible in a sense that if you need any help even when we are not scheduled for a lesson, I am happy to help.

I have experience in teaching English as an additional language across diverse cultural and learning ability levels. Having practical knowledge about language acquisition as well as knowledge in Special Needs Education makes me the most amazing English teacher! Learning must be FUN!
