I tutored an afrikaans grade 5 student in English through using diagrams and images.
I studied in English even though I'm a native Afrikaan speaker. I also passed the PTE exams with 79%
I had English as an additional language in high school, it was however not of good quality and didn't prepare me for university. I taught myself by reading a lot and doing research. My friend from Argentina also struggled with English, i helped improve his English through us sending voicenotes to each other and he regularly send me writing piece which i corrected for him

I'm not married yet, but i dont have language preference when looking for a partner.
I am a master student from South Africa. Before going to university i myself struggled with English. Therefore, i am passionate to teach languages to others, especially my beautiful home language, Afrikaans.
Although I didn't study teaching, i do view myself as a teacher. After finishing high school, i tutored a grade 5 student who was struggling with Afrikaans and maths, her marks improved drastically, in that I made learning fun for her.
My approach is based on preferred approach. I believe we all learn differently, therefore, i will create a teaching plan that best suits each student.
