English tutors near me

I am fluent in English and received an 84% average in grade 12 for English and therefore know the language very well from literature to grammar. I am confident in the language and will be able to help with any difficulties.

I have been teaching English as a second language to non native speakers and been tutoring young kids who had little to no knowledge of the language. I have first hand experience in teaching the basic phonics to kids and also business English to adults.

Having received a distinction for English in my matric year and having an avid passion for reading, allows me to believe that I know what it takes not only to improve but to excel in English. My brief tutoring experience at the beginning of the year in English saw improvements to all 5 of students I helped.

I have a passion for languages. English was one of two main subjects I studied at the University of Pretoria. I love the language and have been teaching it for the past five years. Everything in English sounds beautiful and it is such an inspiring and wonderful language.

I was the top English student in my high school for my senior years, and I really enjoyed both the literature and the grammar sections (which I gather is quite rare). I'm very excited to share that passion with you! I'm also a qualified TEFL English teacher, so I am well-versed in English-teaching techniques as both a first and second language.

I strongly believe in the strength of English as a subject. I have been tutoring English across a range of curricula (including IEB, Cambridge, and GDE) for three years, and have learnt the value of analysis and interpretation skills in this subject. Over the years, I have developed techniques for the different sections of an English exam, and how to adapt these techniques to each individual student.

I achieved an 86% at the end of matric. I have many notes that can help with the language and literature sections of tests as well as semiotic analysis training which can help with cartoon analysis. Speeches contribute a large amount to the final exam and it is an area that I can assist with greatly.

Teach kids to read and write within a short period of time as I did with my own child. Improve reading and instilling the love of reading in general within the kids. Comprehension reading, imagining, remembering and understand the stories. Having fun while learning. Happy learning

I make sure the lessons are learner-centred and students are active in lessons, to keep them engaged and also because people learn better by doing things. I help students set goals and explain why particular class activities are useful, so that students understand how the lesson content relates to their goals. They will be more enthusiastic if they understand how the lessons are helping them. I am a strong independent person who will be able to help students develop into independent thinkers. I am able to adjust the lesson plan to increase the learning efficiencies of every student in the class. I believe that having a nice sense of humour will help defuse the stress and tension in the classroom for both my students and I. Mostly, I am interested and passionate about the English language.

I enjoy speaking and writing English. Although my home language is Afrikaans, I am now fluent in English. Coming from an Afrikaans home and going to an English school I understand it can sometimes be difficult.
