Hi, I’m Anri! I’m currently in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Education with a specialization in the Senior and FET Phase, and I’ve also completed a 160-hour TEFL course to strengthen my ability to teach English as a foreign language. I matriculated through the Cambridge syllabus, which gave me a strong academic foundation and taught me how to approach complex questions with critical thinking. I achieved 3 distinctions — 91% in Afrikaans, 88% in English, and 81% in Business Studies — reflecting my dedication to learning and academic excellence. My experience with the Cambridge system and my current studies have given me a solid understanding of how exam questions are structured and how best to prepare for them.

As a tutor, I aim to be someone who facilitates learning in a way that’s clear, relatable, and tailored to each student’s needs. I focus on reinforcing what the teacher has already introduced by re-explaining the material in a method that suits the learner best. My approach is to start with the basics, ensuring the foundational concepts are solid before building up to more complex content. I believe in patient, flexible teaching that adapts to the learner’s pace and style to help them grow in confidence and ability.

In my spare time, I’ve recently discovered a love for crocheting — it’s both relaxing and creatively rewarding. Family time is very important to me, and we often spend weekends hiking or going for walks together. I’m also actively involved at my church, and nothing beats a good beach day to recharge and enjoy nature. These hobbies and values help me stay grounded and bring warmth and balance to my teaching.
