I am a personable and patient individual with a strong ability to think logically and analytically. I strive for giving my all in any activity I undertake and love any opportunity to share knowledge.
I am naturally calm and patient in nature, and believe strongly that learning should be a fun thing, and not seen as a chore, and as such, I aim to ensure my lessons are interesting and exciting.
• Bachelor of Arts in Language and Culture, majoring in French and Psychology, with minor in Sign Language Linguistics, 2017 - 2019
• 1: I excelled at English in high school, receiving distinctions for every term for every year, including Grade 12.
• 2: I provided lessons/tutoring English to three Arabic students during lockdown to help them in gaining the basics in order to start aviation school.
English
I have always had, and still do have, a passion for languages. English is my native language and I excelled at it during high school. In university, I studied General Linguistics which teaches about the science behind language learning - which will prove very helpful in language teaching.
Afrikaans
Afrikaans was a subject I always enjoyed due to my Dutch background, it sometimes came very naturally to me while at other times was a very interesting and new challenge when something was opposite to how it was in Dutch. I love the simple rules that Afrikaans has (unlike English).
French
French I wish I learned from birth, my mom speaks it fluently and I am so jealous about this! In university, I was finally able to fulfil my dream of studying the language. I do a little bit of French every single day; making my phone's language French, reading an article, or listening to a song.
