Tutors in South Africa

I am passionate about teaching because it is all about helping the learner to achieve his or her full potential. I’m always willing to assist and help in the specific learning area. Teaching English or Mathematics to young children can be challenging. It is very important to build your understanding of how young children learn. Talk to your students and encourage them. Building relationships is really important in the classroom. It will help provide a safe environment, which is essential for effective learning. Establishing this will mean you can watch children grow in confidence, and you should begin to notice that even the more your students are willingly want to go and try things out. They learn to trough their actions and exploration. Besides that, learners also learn through social interaction with other people. They build up their language through interaction with other learners. When you teach a new lesson, I will teach learners many different ways to engage with and absorb the content in different ways. I will incorporate more visuals to present the content in different ways, such as maps, pictures, drawings, objects, or videos. Students have to be motivated and interested in language, using meaningful and enjoyable activities where they need to use it to communicate, like classwork, games or songs. Groups of the same size don’t always work for all students; you have to divide them into smaller groups. Be mindful of and responsive to students with sensory and attention issues, and make changes to the learning environment to meet their need.

I believe anyone can learn the things they want to be skilled in. With patience and perseverance even the most difficult subject can be understood. I've been working in the finance industry for almost 10 years, this has taught me to focus on tasks at hand, plan ahead and manage the time available so that I can get all my tasks done. I've learned many things this way, even about things beyond my field of work. With the right approach, the learning process can be easy and enjoyable. Learning should be fun, not a boring chore.

Hello everyone. I am a young teacher looking to break into the world of tutoring. I studied a BA in Languages and Culture at Stellenbosch University, where I majored in French, German, and Mandarin. I then went on to complete my BA Honours in French. My thesis was a translation of a YA book written by a popular French author, accompanied by an analysis on the translation of YA literature. While I was completing my Honours, I worked as a tutor for the university's MFL department. During this time, I did one-on-one tutoring sessions with a blind second- year student, and group computer lessons for classes of first-years students. It was at this time that I developed an interest in teaching, in particular in teaching languages. I am passionate about teaching, and assisting others in learning about the subjects about which I am passionate. I love teaching languages, as I find the process of learning languages fascinating. I feel that my experience having learnt three foreign languages myself gives me an edge as a language teacher - I know where all the difficulties lie, and how best to learn a challenging new language. However, I am also a qualified History and Geography teacher. I am a passionate lifelong learner, and History and Culture are fields that interest me. I have worked as an ESL teacher in China, and a professional teacher in South Africa. Most recently, I worked as an English and Mandarin teacher at Kearsney College in KZN. I also have experience working as an online EFL teacher for Chinese children, as well as an online personal tutor teaching French. My varied experience has taught me to make my materials interesting, and to adapt them to my student's needs. Personally, I am a friendly, but not outspoken person. I enjoy reading and doing crosswords. I love to draw and paint, and I am passionate about nature. I enjoy camping and fishing, and just being outdoors in general. I am also a passionate foodie, and like to watch cooking shows and videos, as well as to hoard cookbooks and try new restaurants and recipes often. As a teacher, I am patient and encouraging. I try my best to adapt my lessons and materials to the needs and interests of my students. As I am a young teacher, I like to include modern tweaks, such as media and video clips, as well as pop culture references. I will work hard to ensure the success of my students. I hope to meet you soon!
