Super Tutor

Mariena is one of our best Afrikaans tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.

About the lesson

I adore reading my class/the child and basing my lessons on their interests. I believe a child learns through play/movement. I prefer making up songs and rhymes to help children remember and have even made mind maps full of colour and pictures for specific learners. I firmly believe that the teacher must go to their level of interaction and communication, build the trust and go from there.

Mariena is an amazing teacher. She takes the time to learn about each child and then works with them in a way that they understand. Even more impressively, she retains the fun. Both my kids adore her.
