My strength when it comes to helping is my ability to assess the person or situation I am aiding and see where I am most needed. I try my best to help and enjoy seeing results. I am very patient and can find creative ways to help.

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have spent ten years developing my French, starting with Grade 7 to third-year level university courses. My approach is systemic and thematic, working to develop language, comprehension, and grammar skills simultaneously. I have taught a number of students to improve their fluency in the language.

History

My skill in history was recognised with both the Grades 11 and 12 History Subject Prizes at school. I have tutored matric history to a couple of students by developing critical thinking skills through practical examples and formulating essay structures and responses. I majored in African studies.

Afrikaans
