Grammar tutors in Western Cape

I am a qualified teacher and I completed a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course in 2010. I have been teaching English in this capacity for almost 10 years now, and I have become extremely proficient in teaching all aspects of grammar. I have the ability to teach different grammar concepts in a concise and comprehensive way. I have taught grammar to foreign language students and to new TEFL trainees at the language school where I am currently employed. I am very passionate about teaching grammar as the reward of seeing students improve in their grammar usage is extremely fulfilling.

I achieved 96% for this subject in my final NSC examinations in 2018, which was the 5th highest mark in the Western Cape and the top mark at my school, Herschel Girls, which was the top academically performing school in the western cape that year.

Assisting students develop their writing skills and use of grammar in the primary phase is vitally important. I am best able to assist students in this task by presenting work and grammar rules in an engaging way that helps them to remember and assists in the correct use of grammar in their written work.

I believe that I am a great tutor with regards to grammar as it is something that I interact with daily due to my university work and freelance writing job. Grammar is a crucial foundation for anyone that wishes to succeed with the English language and I enjoy the constant battles that it throws our way.

Reading and writing have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and I have always had an appreciation for the English language. I finished matric with a 94% average and have also completed AS levels in English literature. I am able to assist with not only grammar, but literature, reading and writing too.

With reading as a past time hobby, I have developed a keen eye for grammatical order. I have editted a PHD thesis for a fellow colleague and six undergraduate thesis submissions. I am at my Masters level within the Humanties department, and therefore naturally indulge in a fair amount of reading and writing.

As an avid reader, I have a keen eye for language and grammar. I also achieved 88% for my final English matric mark. Moreover, I tutored a grade 5 and a grade 7 student in English from August to November 2017 and then again from October - November 2018. This was done on a part-time basis and I was a private tutor.

Grammar is a part of everyday life and if not understood correctly can result in improper communication. Grammar can be seen in writing and speaking. It is a skill that needs to be developed through practice of other skills and taught in conjunction with other problem areas. By allowing the learner to learn in this type of way I am joining their thought process that grammar is not exclusive to one section of the English Language.

I am happy with all aspects of English. However grammar is an important base from which to work and understand why certain things happen in any language. I love to see students work this out and come to a solution that is both correct and they understand why it is that solution.

I have always loved the English Language. English was always my favourite subject throughout school and it was always something I looked forward to learning. In high school I received over 90% for English with it being one of my highest achieving marks for a subject. I also continued with English in university and minored in etymology for a year at UCT.
