I am a Rhodes University graduate who has always had a passion for the English language. I was raised by an English teacher and grew up knowing that English is the language of the world, thus giving me native proficiency in English.
My love for the English language allowed me to obtain my degrees (BA in English/Law and a BA (English Honours) in record time and I would love the opportunity to use my tertiary education to help those who have not been exposed to this language which has now become a necessity in today’s world.

Me as a Teacher
Having lived in three countries in my lifetime, I love meeting new people from different cultures and exchanging knowledge.
My classes will maximise on this, so you can expect lessons which consists of a lot of verbal exchange between us!
Whilst pursuing my degrees in Law and English, I started a crochet business which honed my organizational and time management skills. I nurtured my love for creativity to become a business and my love for the English language to become an Honours degree. This nurturing quality is what I believe would make me an effective teacher as I will be patient enough to invest time and energy in improving your English skills.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that every student is the ideal student if they are provided with the ideal environment. An ideal environment is one which evolves with and depends on the students’ learning style and one of our first tasks will be to establish your learning style so that I am able to create the best learning environment for you.
I plan on taking full advantage of the digital age we live in by making use of platforms where we will explore texts, movies and series to maximise language acquisition. Since it is often said that language is not learnt, it is acquired, my aim will be to expose you to a wide variety of mediums of language to improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.

Teacher’s pick
I am really impressed with Teacher Rue, she has a gift with Early Years children and understands what they need to gain confidence with initial readings. She always has a lot of interactive material prepared. The comments and the tips at the end of the class with the parents are also greatly appreciated. Thanks!
