Afrikaans Tutors

Some learners never really fully grasp a second language, and a subject such as Afrikaans can be especially difficult to a child who has spent their entire life speaking English. There are other reasons for needing an Afrikaans tutor though – for example a child who has immigrated and never even heard the language spoken before. Some learners have a natural aptitude for foreign languages and will never need an Afrikaans tutor – they are the lucky ones.

It's not always possible for a teacher to give every learner the attention they deserve due to time constraints within the classroom. This means that when a learner does not have the basic grounding needed to comprehend a language such as Afrikaans, the teacher cannot go back and fill in these gaps. Traditionally teachers give extra Afrikaans lessons themselves in their own time. However, very often these extra lessons are conducted in a similar way to a classroom situation and this creates the need for more individualised home tutors. The difference between home tuition and the classroom dynamic is that our tutors are able to cater specifically to the needs of the learner.

Hire Education's Afrikaans tutors try to give the learner as much exposure to the language as possible. In conjunction to this they work on building the basic foundation of the language by improving grammar and vocabulary. Our Afrikaans tutors have all demonstrated a special tutoring talent. This ensures that they not only understand the work, but also have the teaching ability needed to convey this understanding onto the learner.
