Bio
As a graduate and mother of two young adults, I have the intuition, perception and education necessary to tutor your children. My 2,5 years of tutoring experience have honed my practical skills.
My experience tutoring small groups of students in an education centre has provided me with many opportunities to help and guide children in their schoolwork. It has also allowed me to build relationships and to tutor syllabus content patiently and creatively.

English
I am an English graduate and have worked in the educational and tutoring fields for 4 years in Johannesburg, tutoring English up to junior high school students in both face-to-face and online formats. I can assist with vital comprehension and creative writing skills, grammar and vocabulary.
Mathematics
I am excellent at problem-solving and would love to assist students to gain more insight into the subject matter and build on their confidence in approaching the subject! I always find easier ways to explain difficult concepts and pay close attention to the students' learning style.
French
As a French graduate, I worked for many years in a French environment and am able to assist any primary school student with French additional language skills to build greater comprehension, vocabulary and grammar.
Afrikaans
I am able to assist primary school students in all aspects with Afrikaans first additional language and reading skills. I understand the language and can help students to excel in it. I would love to assist students in bettering their comprehension, vocabulary and grammar of the language.
