Afrikaans vir almal (for everyone)! Tailor made. Speak, read, write and understand spoken Afrikaans. Improve your grades in any curriculum.

Afrikaans is one of the 11 official languages in South Africa and the only Europian language that started on the African continent. It is the youngest scientific language in the world. It is easy, it is fun and it is beautiful. I can help everyone; from the very beginner level if you just want to learn to speak using the Berlitz method, or if you need to improve your different skills for IGCSE, AS level or CAPS. Been teaching for 20 years plus and I would love to help you do your best.

About Me

I really enjoy people, of all ages, of all walks of life, all personalities and abilities because they are all precious. Teaching is a way to empower people to do that which they thought they could not do or that which they just needed someone to help them walk the road in doing it or maybe just sparking their interest, giving a push and encouragement where needed. Every teaching situation is different as each student is different; their level, their approach, their learning style and their goals. The joy in teaching is when a student starts believing in themselves, grows in confidence and reaches their potential.

Education

I graduated at the University of Port Elizabeth (now the Nelson Mandela Metropole University), with a Bachelor's degree in languages, majoring in Afrikaans/Dutch, German and English and did a Higher Degree of Education (1998)

Experience / Qualifications

I taught Afrikaans as a second language and English First Language at Alexander Road High School in Port Elizabeth, and during my studies I was part of the Afrikaans/Dutch Department's tutoring programme and also taught German at David Livingstone High School. When my car got stolen I decided to go and earn money and went to teach English in Korea for about 2 years at Berlitz in Seoul where I learnt to use the very unique and rather effective Berlitz method teaching Korean Airline pilots (amongst others) to understand and communicate in English well enough so that they could safely land their airplanes in America without any language confusion. On returning to South Africa, I went to teach at a private high school for 20 years covering CAPS, and IEB, but for the most part the Cambridge curriculum.

Social Sciences and qualitative research for higher education (from bachelor to post-doc)
I offer Social Sciences and qualitative research classes for university students in all levels. I have experience teaching and mentoring students at different levels of their academic formation. From classic social studies, to the most recent theoretical developments in Anthropology, Sociology, Political Sciences or History, I can guide you through the intricacies of social thought and research in a clear, motivated and exciting way. Who am I? A committed social scientist, MA and Ph.D in Anthropology, completed 4yrs post-Ph.D in political anthropology. I have conducted four different research projects, all of them focusing in southern African communities and dealing with an array of distinct topics (religious syncretism; memory and identity; local and state politics; literary practices; history making; power and authority). During my studies I have built a very consistent and broad theoretical and ethnographic knowledge, particularly, but not only, when it comes to the interdisciplinary field of African studies (a complex literature in which I feel very comfortable and able to navigate with full proficiency). I am a very experienced researcher (with more than 3 years of fieldwork experience in southern Africa), acquainted with all kinds of qualitative methods, from interviews, ritual analysis, archival work and social media research. I have much experience writing, assessing and tutoring research projects; peer-reviewing academic papers (including American Anthropology, Caderno de Estudos Africanos, among others); participating in thesis commission board; and as a university professor. Mentoring and teaching is truly my passion, and with a very consistent and mature knowledge of the literature you can expect a most precise, competent assistance. How do I work? * You have a specific topic to unravel: we will go to the button of it through an interdisciplinary genealogy of concepts and an attentive look to their uses in concrete situations. * You have an ongoing/finished paper: I will proofread your paper and offer you a logic schematics of your central argument. The idea is to first pull you out of the hurricane to identify its trajectory, and then push you back at its peaceful centre, were we can polish your ideas, cleaning unnecessary digressions and adding relevant data and literature. * You have/need a research project: I will read and comment your project in case you already have one and offer you with a schematic of the literature related with your topic so that we can identify relevant gaps in the literature. After doing that, we will consider your objectives and consider through pertinent questions for your research. * You are writing a thesis: I will first go through your research project and cross-check with you the actual results of your research. Once we have done that, we will analyse the nature and quality of your data, the span of the literature covered, chapters you might have already written, and, of course, the issues that excites you most. The idea is to identify where your strength is and what can be done do reinforce your arguments (more research, if possible; or literature review, if necessary). All this will be done with organizational support, helping you plan and schedule your writing with confidence, grace and, most importantly, no suffering!

I am Senegalese, Professor, Linguist and Specialist in the Wolof language. Learn and speak Wolof easily with me.
My methodology is to base myself on the courses in a structural and clear way, accessible to my learners to give them quality teaching and a total understanding of the courses in a cordial and satisfying atmosphere. My method is very simple, I start by teaching you the most common and most used words and expressions. Then slowly the formation of sentences, conjugation, grammar but also how to pronounce each word well and know their positions in the sentence. Thanks to my very simple and effective teaching methodology, the student can form sentences in Wolof very easily from our first lesson. Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal, Gambia where it has been enriched with contributions from other dialects, Arabic and French, which remains the official language. It is experiencing cultural expansion in the country and is also present in Gambia and Mauritania. So to facilitate your integration into Senegalese society; it is essential to use this language because it is the vernacular language although there are several beautiful local Senegalese languages but Wolof remains the most used language. This is why I offer myself to teach the beauty of this language which is my specialty and my mother tongue, I also teach Senegalese and Gambian culture and civilization. Learning Wolof offers anyone who wishes to know Senegal, in a professional, cultural or tourist context, the opportunity to establish privileged contact with its population. I would also like to inform my learners that apart from online courses, I organize language visits and tours in Senegal; for those who wish to travel to practice and discover Senegal with special packages. DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK A COURSE DIRECTLY SO THAT I CAN EXPLAIN AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WOLOF LANGUAGE.

Understanding Moroccan Culture and Society within Context
So many Westerners have hard times understanding the mindset of the average Moroccans, everyday habits, the rationale behind old customs and traditions, what's safe and what's not, what's taboo and what's not, what's funny and what's not, what's religious and what's not, especially that Morocco is historically a rich mixture of many cultures, with the typicality of combining the old and modern at the same time. I agree it's the heck of a challenge!! However, you can forge your own master-key now to a much better and wise social experience in North Africa, being it for marketing, anthropologist, or mere touristic reasons. You can definitely rely on someone like me to make such discovery about the people of this beautiful landscape, as I was born and raised here, loved and learned the English language, and was living in the USA for quite a long time. So, call me either your young or big brother in Morocco (I'm 46). We can possibly adopt a person-to-person approach in our journey (I'm located around Rabat, the capital).
