Bio

I'm Jani, passionate about helping you regain confidence! With experience in social sciences and fluency in Afrikaans and English, I make learning approachable for everyone.

I naturally gravitate toward supporting others and helping them grow. Leading peers in school and university, teaching at high school and university levels, and working in development have all fueled my passion for education and inspired me to make a meaningful impact through tutoring.

Subjects

  • School Tutoring

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Afrikaans is in my blood! After achieving 90% in matric and completing two years of Afrikaans at university, I’ve tutored learners from foundation to high school and taught FAL as a substitute. I’m passionate about both the language and its literature!

Business Studies

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Business Studies opened my eyes to how the real world works! After topping my class in matric (2013), I studied governance and political science and later worked as a behavioural economist — all sparked by BS. I can’t wait to explore it with you!

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

I’m one of the few who truly enjoyed LO — it’s full of real-world value! I want to help you feel confident about ‘adulting’ and making smart life choices. With experience in public health, I handle topics like HIV, sex, and contraception with ease and honesty.

Homework

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC

Whatever you’re struggling with, we’ll tackle it together! I know what it’s like to feel stuck or pressed for time. Step by step, we’ll make progress—and celebrate it too!

English

Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC

I love languages — from literature’s deeper meanings to the technical side of grammar. While Afrikaans is my home language, I’ve mostly tutored in English, earned my degrees in it, and worked professionally in English too.

Politics

First Year POLS1514

Just as I’m fascinated by how humans interact (sociology), I’m equally intrigued by the systems that shape society and influence our thinking. Let’s explore these ideas together!

Sociology

First Year - Second Year SOS 214

I’m a sociologist at heart! My post-grad studies focused on how our systems shape our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. Sociology isn’t always easy, but I can help you see it in a fresh, engaging way.
