Description of tutoring experience
I possess three years of valuable tutoring experience, working with students of diverse ages and skill levels. My expertise lies in tutoring children as young as six years old, with a primary focus on English language instruction. Additionally, I had the opportunity to work at Hilton College, where I tutored students in Dramatic Arts from Grade 8 to Matric (Grade 12). I also provided English tutoring to students in Grades 8-10 during after-hours sessions. Throughout my tutoring career, I have developed strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to adapt to individual learning styles. I am confident in my capacity to provide personalized guidance and support to students, helping them achieve their academic goals.
