I consider myself to be a creative and an academic: a mixture that has made my life most interesting. I have a passion for languages, reading, writing and the dramatic arts.
I have tutored all types of people: adults and children from both all backgrounds, and thus have much experience with the job. I believe that leadership by example is the best way to go. Being a tutor would mean wanting the best for my student academically, as well as personally. I would hope to inspire a student both in the classroom and outside of it.

English
I have a passion and a talent when it comes to the English language, as I have a knowledge of the technical elements of the discipline as well as a creative spark which makes for a well-rounded grasp of the language.
Afrikaans
Afrikaans is my second language as my father is Afrikaans-speaking so I grew up with speaking it at home. I understand the difficulties of the language and believe that it is beautiful and intricate, and not beyond any student's understanding.
French
I have a deep love for the French language and stress that French can only be fully learned and appreciated by making it more than just a subject that you study at school.
English Literature
I majored in English Literature at the University of Stellenbosch and I have an ardent love for reading and writing and have an in-depth knowledge of many books studied at various universities.
English
Along with an appreciation for the more abstract elements of the English language, I have a firm grasp on all aspects on the language side of English and having struggled with language myself for a brief period before cracking it.
