English Language and Literature tutors in Western Cape

I am a passionate educator with over 4 years of educational experience as an English Language Teacher. What has helped me develop my teaching abilities is being able to have taught in different countries and experience a multitude of differences between people and cultures, who all have the same goal: learn English. I have taught every type of English lesson imaginable: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, listening and literacy. Every time I will adapt and change, bring in new methods and interesting activities for effective learning that is individualised.

I teach primary school children from grade 1- 3 English language skills every day. I have experience in remedial training with language skills. I break the concepts down to their understanding level and try to help them understand it in their own way.

I have a love for English Literature as it is art in written form and so many stories each with beautiful life lessons. I am bilingual and though my home language is Afrikaans, I've taken all my classes in English since Grade 9. My final mark in Gr.12 for English was 81%

I am passionate about English Literature and Language. I obtained a 5 (the highest score) in AP Language and Literature in the United States and I obtained a 7(the highest score) for English Literature HL in my International Baccalaureate Diploma. I am currently majoring in English at the University of Cape Town where I have achieved consistent first class passes. I have experience tutoring both IB English and South African matric.

I have 4 years experience tutoring and managing after-school projects in various areas around Cape Town and drew up curriculum booklets for SHAWCO Education at UCT aligned with the CAPS curriculum in Numeracy, literacy, sports and more from grade 1 to grade 10s.

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 am the best tutor for this subject as I am extremely passionate about the English language! I received distinctions for English language in High School as well as at university. I am well read and am able to analyse literature well. I am an extremely competent English speaker as well as writer and will be able to assist students with Essay writing and creative writing and orals. I will also be studying an advanced diploma in Copywriting in 2021 by which my English writing skills will be further enhanced! I have also completed a 120hr TEFL course, meaning that I am qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language.

I am a native English speaker who is passionate about literature. I also have a 120 hour TESOL course qualification which equips me to teach the language. Beyond that, I achieved 85% for English in matric.

I am excited to see learners succeed and become self- reliant and self -motivated. One of the biggest "gifts" that I can give my learners is to show them that they can do anything that they set their minds on. I, as a remedial teacher with 30 years experience, have seen that children, especially those that have challenges with reading and writing, just need someone to believe in them.
