Maryna Afrikaans and English
No reviews yet

Hi! My name is Maryna. I love to engage in conversation and I am capable in relating to people from all walks of life. I have good listening and communication skills, with a positive approach.
I am a caring, dedicated and reliable individual who is passionate about making a real difference in people’s lives, through teaching.
I am committed to the learning and development of my students, young or old, giving them the best possible education and helping them to develop a passion for learning, and the ability to speak English or Afrikaans with confidence.
I completed my GA Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, to teach One-to-One, Online as well as helping students in the corporate field. I also have a National Diploma in Journalism, which I studied through Tswane University of Technology, in South Africa. I also help Afrikaans FAL students to improve their conversational skills as well as understanding of the Afrikaans language.
My approach to tutoring is having an open and receptive mind so that I can adjust to the needs, expectations and/ or goals of my student. I believe in the importance of having a confident, positive attitude, for encouragement and motivation.
My goal is for each student to feel enlightened and content with what they have accomplished.
The journey in learning a language, or even just improving the skills you all ready have, should not by a trying one. To learn something new is important, sometimes it is an uphill battle, but to enjoy it while you are doing it, makes it so much easier in reaching your personal goals.
