Fully qualified teacher with over 20 years’ experience tutoring French GCSE and A’level and English GCSE which has empowered my students to succeed and pursue their preferred higher and further education goals. I also cover Spanish GCSE and more recently Key Stage 3 English and A’level, which have proved equally successful as attested by my students’ great marks. People have said of me as a teacher that I am empathic, patient, inspiring, with good listening skills and the ability to spot areas for development on which to give constructive feedback. With French and Spanish GCSE and A-level I discuss with the student where they need the most help or challenge in their coursework and tailor the lessons accordingly by preparing some extra teaching material and resources as well as practice exercises to enable them to apply what they have learnt. I urge them to speak in the language all the time with prompting and support. I use quizzes, activities, games and role plays as tools, thereby providing fun learning by discovery. We study past papers from their examination board and I guide them through practising and fulfilling all of the learning outcomes. With English GCSE and A-level we analyse the student’s set literature texts and drill down to the core meanings, interpretations and themes, as well as their social, cultural and historical contexts. We have lively discussions to enhance comprehension and establish the student’s position on related topics. I am well read in the classics as well as adjustable and committed to mastering new texts. My passion is Shakespeare plays of which I have read over 25 and more recently Chaucer. We approach practical criticism and appreciation of poetry in a systematic fashion and spend time exploring meaning, comparing and contrasting different texts. In language matters I encourage self-correction in the student and often elicit the correct answer. My qualification as a proofreader has given me a thorough understanding of spelling, grammar and nuances of meaning which I instil in my learners. I acquaint myself with their examination board specifications and I train them to achieve the best marks by practising at past papers. The student will answer exam questions independently and we look at them together to consolidate understanding. We then build on these skills, so the student is accomplished at writing convincing argumentative essays and evaluative and creative writing. I am happy to hone their skills in these areas and pass on my experiences as an active member of a creative writing group for nearly 3 years.

I started my teaching career as a Senior Physical Science and Life Sciences teacher in South Africa. It was here that I volunteered to assist students with English as their second language who found the curriculum extremely difficult. My interest in teaching English as an additional language was sparked by this experience so I attended many courses to help me assist these students with their English speaking, reading and writing skills. I found early on in my teaching career that I had an enthusiasm and desire to assist students who were struggling and who wished to better their academic qualifications but were unable to due to circumstances beyond their control. For the past 38 years I have been involved in teaching and developing strategies to teach English to non-English speaking students in South Africa. In 1991 I founded an NGO, SMILE, to assist teachers with the teaching of English as an additional language. I have written numerous Learning and Teaching Support Materials for English Additional Language for grades 4 - 12. I have also been involved in a number of teacher development projects. For the past year I have been working full time at Inanda Seminary as part English First Additional Language Teacher and a facilitator for their community programmes. At present I am editing and writing the teacher guides for textbooks for English Home Language students from grade 7 - 12. Over the past 35 years I have worked in many roles in the education sector but my first love has always been working in the classroom with students. As I reach retirement I believe that my experience and love for teaching will stand me in good stead to tutor small groups of students to help them reach their academic potential.
