English tutors near me

I have always loved English, it was one of my favorite subjects in high school and I believe that my passion for the subject an help ignite a passion for it too in those who struggle with the subject. I believe it helps not only with communication but also assists with a way of thinking and developing logic.

I am a professional architect and have lectured and tutored architectural design and technology at UCT and Wits since 2016. I have guided classes of up to 85 students through their studies, given lectures to large groups, lead smaller groups of roughly 15 students to develop their design and technology understanding, and mentored individual students in design. I have tutored high school maths and english since my matric year in 2007.

I have a keen admiration of languages and linguistics in general, and this translates into my love for English, it being my first language. I also have an understanding of the structure of other South African and Asian languages, which makes it easier to explain to people the differences between their spoken language, and how better to grasp English. I have consistently gotten good grades for English Home Language during school, and have assisted fellow classmates to understanding the work better. Further, I enjoy reading and writing, and so can assist with the understanding of not only grammar and vocabulary, but also school issued literature and essays.

I am studying a Bachelor of Education in Intermediate Phase Teaching through UNISA and English is one of the subjects I am specialising in. I have a genuine interest in the subject and a passion for teaching it. I achieved great results for English throughout my school career. I also have experience teaching English at primary school level. I have a vast knowledge of the subject and a strong understanding of the various aspects of it. I ensure that the teaching/learning process for the subject is exciting and effective.

My home language is English. I have 4 years experience teaching English. I matriculated with a 90% average in English. I have a very good understanding of the language and the primary and high school syllabus.

I throughly enjoyed English as a subject in school and did well. I also love the language and enjoy teaching it as I find the subject very versatile and I am able to make the learning process very creative and enjoyable. Also, I have tutored this subject before.

I have a lot of experience after teaching the aforementioned disciplines for many years as well as being highly and professionally qualified. A lot of references and recommendations also testify that I am a cut above the rest in terms of knowing my job and delivering the best service.

Being fully bilingual in Afrikaans and English makes me accutely aware of the minor mistakes and I have a patron to help people understand the rules of languages I know that languages and the rules seem like it is irrelevant and that “dude, I speak it everyday” (do people still use the word dude), but trust me, it is the small things that distinguish you from the average Joe...

I have experience teaching English online and in face-to-face set up. I have completed a TEFL certificate and I offer students knowledge gained from my tertiary education to help shape them into great English speakers. I offer my students support and guidance, enabling the to discover and learn concepts on their own.

I have a fairly large vocabulary and understanding of the English language as well as a strong affinity to grammar and sentence structure. Since programming is very particular about syntax, order and logical structures I have translated my skills in debugging code to identifying errors in text and extracting specific meanings of phrases and sentences.
