Elsie

Hello, my name is Elsie, I am an aspiring foundation phase teacher. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I am currently a student at the University of South-Africa studying towards my Bachelor`s degree in Foundation Phase teaching. I enjoy teaching, because for me it is an absolute passion to help children and see their excitement when they get their results back and it`s better than the last time, or that moment when you see a student grasp something, it`s a feeling of such an accomplishment. I achieved a distinction in Grade 12 for my languages, English and Afrikaans. I have always excelled in English and I pride myself in understanding the technical aspects of the subject as well as the beauty of it. I wish to help others excel in the language as well. I am capable of explaining in a manner that is relevant, applicable and enjoyable.

Experience: “Every child has a different learning style and pace. Each child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding.” ― Robert John Meehan My teaching style is different and unique depending on the student I have. I put in effort and time to learn more about the student and assess which way they learn better and adapt accordingly.

I assist four (From Grade 1-4) students currently with extra lessons in English and Afrikaans for two years now. I assist with their spelling, reading, grammar, pronunciations and test preparation.
