English Literature tutors in Western Cape

I am a qualified SACE registered teacher with English Home Language and Life Orientation subject didactics.

I am passionate about writing and the English language and every decision that I have made in my career has been inspired by these passions. I have BA Languages (Journalism) (cum laude) and English Honours degrees. I have worked as a copywriter and editor for the past eight years. As I am currently working on a freelance basis, I have time to add something more meaningful to my work. Sharing my passion with young students and helping them to achieve their potential is a wonderful way for me to do just that.

I am a friendly and enthusiastic 31-year old who loves learning, teaching and languages. I'm a natural teacher and have extensively studied my subject, thus I am a perfect match! I live with my dog, my sister and her two cats in a house in Cape Town.

I am an ambitious and driven law student at the University Of Cape Town with confidence in my teaching and mentoring abilities. I am very passionate about, and proficient in several foreign languages. I intend to share this love for languages with as many people as I possibly can.

I am an online English teacher who enjoys Instructional Design and Curriculum Creation to create a safe confident space for individuals both young and old on different levels of English.

I graduated with my English and Philosophy Honours degree within 2018, achieving full academic colours. Prior to this, I graduated in Philosophy, English and Psychology, being placed on the Dean's List. I enjoy engaging with theory and I love encouraging conversations around critical thought, specifically within the world of literature. I have been within the teaching sphere since the age of 15, having worked with children and teenagers of all ages throughout the last ten years. Additionally, I held a tutoring position while at varsity in 2016, giving me high-level experience of teaching. Having worked both with individuals and with groups, I feel I have developed skills in holding a creative space; monitoring the learning process so as to develop the correct skills for analysis and writing; and mediating between both myself and my students, and amongst the students themselves. In terms of school-age student tutoring, I am particularly capable in the essay-writing sphere, and am predominantly interested in tutoring English. I would require information on my tutee's subject matter and syllabus, and would design their work around their particular school, work requirements, and skills and weaknesses. In terms of university, and/or other tutoring requirements, I am available for tutoring English and Philosophy, and for the teaching of English to older persons. I teach via Skype, and would be delighted to set up an initial Skype interview to see if we are a good match!

I am readily available and energetic young lady who would be an excellent choice for this position. I have an ability to grow with a job, handle responsibility and build positive relationships with work colleagues at all levels. I can bring a positive and excellent level of high performance to your company. Beyond that this is already mentioned in my attached resume. I am someone who knows how to set goals and achieve them, and have a proven track record of being able to conceive, develop and execute strategies. I feel certain that my strong skills coupled with my ability to learn, communicate and display positive work ethics I will be of immediate value to your company. I very much hope that you will look favourably upon my application by recognizing my enthusiasm, talents and my future potential.
