About Mari
I am a science-minded PhD student currently pursuing a career in research, but my passion for education has always extended well beyond a single discipline. Alongside science, I have a deep love for reading, music, and the arts, and from a young age I competed in public speaking (even winning several competitions at national level). This later evolved into British Parliamentary-style debating, where I served as a Training Officer in my second and third year at NWU, helping fellow students develop critical thinking, argumentation, and confidence. As a native Afrikaans speaker who studied in English, I am acutely aware of the challenges students face when learning in or between these languages. I find particular joy in breaking down complex language concepts such as grammar, into clear, intuitive explanations that finally “click.” In addition, I have both formal training and lived experience working with neurodiverse students, and I strongly believe that adapting teaching methods to suit different learning styles can make a meaningful difference to academic outcomes. My goal is always to help students feel capable, understood, and confident in their ability to learn.

Learning works best when it finally makes sense to you - and that’s exactly what my lessons are designed to do. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all teaching or parrot learning that disappears after a test. Instead, we'll work together to understand concepts properly, build confidence and make learning fun!
Being a PhD student, I've written my fair share of theses, and understand the unique challenges involved in preparing manuscripts within the Health Sciences Field
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Mari’s gentle nature and endless patience make her a natural educator. She has a unique gift for building confidence in others, always offering encouragement and constructive feedback with kindness. She is incredibly reliable, punctual, and deeply committed to helping those around her succeed. Anyone tutoring with Mari will benefit not only from her brilliant mind and language expertise but also from her supportive, calm teaching style. I cannot recommend her highly enough
I have worked with Mari for over a year and have seen first hand the dedication and organisation that goes into all of the work she does. She is an incredibly hard-working individual who is always happy to share her wisdom. I believe she will be a reliable, inspiring and committed tutor, and I would highly recommend her.
I’ve known Mari through a mutual friend for several years and can confidently recommend her as a tutor.
Mari is patient, gentle, kind, and highly intelligent, with a natural ability to break down and explain challenging concepts in an approachable way.
She has a deep appreciation for the Afrikaans language and an excellent command over its vocabulary, syntax, and structure. At a time when English increasingly dominates and sneaks into everyday Afrikaans, this makes Mari especially well suited as an Afrikaans tutor.
Mari’s calm and encouraging approach to teaching creates a safe space to ask any questions and build confidence.
I would definitely recommend Mari to anyone looking to learn or improve their Afrikaans!See more recommendations
