About Me
I am a compassionate, creative individual with a passion for teaching languages. I am very agreeable and I believe in an open-door policy. I am good listener, and I can sum up a situation very fast. I am very perceptive and should it be necessary, I can be an agony aunt. But first and foremost, I am an educator. I am in your corner, given you also pull your weight.
Being able to teach Afrikaans or English, gives me a sense of purpose. I am a motivator, an enforcer and I always want the best for my learners according to what they are able to deliver according to their abilities.
I meet the learner on the level they are at, and I also rely on the learner to point out areas in which they need extra attention. I tutored a learner with special needs Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal for 3 years - from grade 10 - 12 and her marks improved. I tutored private learners in Saudi Arabia (English) and in 2025 I tutored a grade 8 learner. I have 15 years of teaching experience in mainstream schools, in LSEN schools and as a Learning Support Teacher. I am especially focused on improving reading comprehension. I use worksheets, or the learner provides me with the material they are struggling with. I build exercises and classes accordingly.
