Hello! My name is Grettah, and I’m a passionate English teacher with a love for helping students grow in confidence and communication. I have experience teaching learners of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced speakers. My lessons are interactive, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals — whether that’s improving conversation skills, pronunciation, grammar, or writing. I believe learning English should be enjoyable and meaningful, so I use real-life topics, games, and storytelling to make every class engaging. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and exploring new cultures, which helps me bring a global perspective into my lessons. I’m patient, encouraging, and committed to helping my students achieve success in English — step by step! I completed my matric at Meridian College in 2010. I went on to further my studies at Pearson Institute where I completed a BA degree majoring in English and Psychology in 2017. I am currently an undergraduate for a Bachelor of Education at the University of South Africa. I have been teaching English online since 2021.

I have extensive experience helping students in science, ranging from secondary education to university level. I have successfully assisted students in achieving higher grades in GCSEs, A-levels, and university degree projects. With a combined six years of teaching and tutoring experience, I am patient and deeply passionate about helping students grasp scientific concepts and improve their academic performance. I hold a PhD in Chemistry and an MSc in Chemical Engineering from the University of Manchester, UK. Additionally, I have a BSc in Industrial Chemistry from an overseas institution. My expertise primarily lies in addressing challenges in the chemical and energy sectors, as well as in teaching at higher education levels (university) and secondary education (GCSE and A-levels in Mathematics and Science).

As an online tutor, I offer a range of subjects to potential students. For English as a second language, I focus on developing students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills through a combination of interactive activities, exercises, and conversational practice. For English (KS 1 and KS2), my lessons are tailored to the individual needs of each student and cover key areas such as phonics, grammar, spelling, comprehension, and creative writing. I use a variety of resources, including books, videos, and games, to make learning engaging and enjoyable. For beginner Spanish learners, I introduce the basics of the language, including grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I also provide opportunities for students to practice their speaking and listening skills through interactive exercises and conversations. In mathematics (KS1 and KS2), I cover key topics such as number sense, arithmetic, geometry, and data analysis. I use a range of strategies, including visual aids, manipulatives, and real-world scenarios, to help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. In geography (UK up to GCSE), I explore topics such as physical geography, human geography, and environmental issues. My lessons involve interactive activities, discussions, and case studies to help students develop their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. For history (UK up to GCSE and 11+ reasoning), I focus on key events, people, and concepts from different historical periods. I use a range of resources, including primary sources, documentaries, and simulations, to help students engage with the subject matter and develop their critical thinking and analytical skills. Overall, my online lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I work closely with my students to ensure that they feel supported, challenged, and motivated to achieve their goals.
