Hi, I’m Tavia — a passionate and creative tutor with a background in performance, education, and communication. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Live Performance from AFDA and I am currently completing my PGCE in Education. My teaching style is energetic, patient, supportive, and highly interactive, because I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable, confident, and inspired.
I offer lessons in English, Drama Studies, Creative Arts, Performing Arts, public speaking, speech preparation, poetry analysis, and conversational English. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans and can teach in both languages depending on the student’s preference and learning needs.
My tutoring approach focuses on building confidence while making learning enjoyable and easy to understand. I adapt my lessons to each student’s pace and personality, whether they are shy, struggling academically, creative, or preparing for exams, auditions, presentations, or speeches. Because of my theater and teaching background, I bring creativity, movement, communication skills, and real-life examples into lessons to keep students engaged.
A typical lesson with me includes:
• A relaxed and encouraging learning environment
• Clear explanations and step-by-step guidance
• Interactive discussions and creative activities
• Assistance with homework, assignments, exam preparation, and performance work
• Confidence-building exercises for speaking and presenting
My lessons are aimed at primary school learners, high school students, beginner English learners, and students interested in drama or creative performance.
I strive to create lessons where students feel heard, capable, and excited to learn.
