Find The Right Tutor for Private Afrikaans Lessons
Afrikaans is a part of the school curriculum in many provinces, yet many students find it difficult, and at a young age, this can majorly affect a child’s self-esteem and academic performance.
It is for this reason that Afrikaans tutoring has become popular amongst children and young adults.
For every native Afrikaans speaker, getting to grips with the pronunciation rules, tricky spelling and even handwriting are all significant hurdles that must be overcome to achieve true mastery of the language.
Why Find an Afrikaans Tutor?
Have you noticed your child struggling with their Afrikaans homework?
For some, understanding the complex aspects of the Afrikaans language as well as practising reading and writing is just too much to do with a school teacher alone.
This is why many parents reach out to Afrikaans tutors or tutoring companies to give their child the boost in confidence they need to achieve academic success.
Having that personal, one on one attention when it comes to learning the Afrikaans language can help children reach their potential quickly and efficiently.
How to Choose the Right Afrikaans Tutor?
Whether you choose Afrikaans lessons from a qualified Afrikaans teacher or from a university student, their teaching approach is very important.
Teaching private classes, especially Afrikaans classes requires patience and a well-rounded teaching approach, especially for children who are struggling or have lost their confidence in the subject.
The Afrikaans exercises offered can cover topics like reading comprehension, writing and spelling, including creative writing, as well as small presentations to develop public speaking skills.
In-home, private lessons can help students improve their confidence, study for exams with revision materials, or even act as an intensive Afrikaans course to boost grades.
Private lessons can, therefore, be more than just helping children with their homework! However, it is important for the tutor to have a rapport with their student if they want them to progress quickly.
Afrikaans help needs to be comprehensive. The private tutors on our platform offer personalised lessons based on their students’ needs.
