About Me

I am a fun loving individual who enjoys the outdoors and hiking - even though I can tend to be a bit clumsy.
I love to help others understand different concepts and reach their full potential within a subject.
Reading is a huge passion of mine, I enjoy opening a book and finding myself in a new world entirely.

Education

IIE MSA, Bachelor of Social Sciences, Double Major in Psychology and Criminology (Minor in Child and Youth Development), 3.2 GPA, graduated April 2016.

UNISA, Bachelor of Arts(Hons) Counselling Psychology, 3.2GPA, graduated April 2020.

Grand Canyon University (correspondence), Master of Science in Mental Health and Wellness, currently holding a 4.0GPA, not yet graduated.

Experience / Qualifications

While in university I worked doing promotions and being a brand ambassador for different companies part time.
I also worked as a floor manager for a few months at one of the on-campus food vendors before they closed.

While finishing my last year of studies I went on to volunteer at a preschool and help out as an assistant teacher during my holidays and days off, after which I taught at that same preschool for 3 more years.

I then moved on to doing ABA therapy (behavioral therapy) with children with Autism and related disorders for 3 years, working my way up to team lead and even spending a year of that time working in Saudi Arabia doing the same thing.

When back in South Africa I moved onto tutoring, giving Reading therapy, confidence building, and facilitating children of varying ages through their homeschooling curriculum while also creating other learning content to expand their knowledge even more and build their confidence in their work.

Reviews (4)

Jessica was fantastic, it was instantly clear she knows her stuff and gave me a very helpful outline for my assignment, which made it so much easier for me to write that damn thing. Big thanks 🙏
Good awareness of children's challenges.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Charming young lady.
The teacher is up to the task. Thank you.
In these sessions I will help you to gain a better understanding of the content you are learning, as well as, help you to understand your assignment topics and how best to answer them by aiding you in building your critical thinking and essay writing abilities so that you can achieve the best possible results. I also provide proofreading and study skills.
Learn more about God as you go through your day. Learn about who he is, Who he created you to be and how you can work each day to better understand the bible and live in the way God called and created us to live. Daily Devotions, Q&A and confidence building (because you cannot love others the way you are called to, if you cannot first love yourself) and more.
My aim is to aid one in building confidence, knowledge and understanding of all things Mathematics. Once you can feel confident in your abilities and knowledge of the subject, you will start realize that it can be fun too. I know, I sound corny, but trust me. I will help to build your skill in the area/s of Mathematics that you find challenging, by first determining what areas you are struggling in through small activities, worksheets, and exercises, then, starting at the foundation of those particular areas, help you be able to understand and eventually, independently work through the tests, sums, equations and more that that area of Mathematics entails.
Sometimes we doubt ourselves and what we are capable of. That's human. However, I want you to be able to see yourself for who you really are and what you bring to the table. Confidence building is important for all age groups. It can help a child of 10 years old be able to come out of their shell, see what they are capable of, and find their own voice. It can do the same for a teenager who has experienced trauma and now does not know where they fit, how they move forward or who they truly are anymore. It can help all people, in all walks of life. Through building one's confidence and finding their own voice and who they are, they get the beautiful chance to experience life to the fullest without letting fear and anxiety of what others will think hold them back.

Spanish online lessons with native spanish teacher for adults and teenagers
I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)! I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying. Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together. All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level. Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like. Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.

Başak
Talk and Understand Turkish easily and well with Başak who is an Experienced and Patient Teacher for Adults and Kids-Online/In-Person Lesson
Merhaba! About me: I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities, and I suppose I gained success. 😀 I have been teaching Turkish professionally for 14 years. I also taught Turkish for 4 years when I was a university student. I learned Ottoman Turkish at the university, so I'm familiar with Persian and Arabic vocabulary. I also studied Persian, German, and Italian grammar. I completed my master's degree in Ottoman history and spent a semester as an Erasmus student at the Turkish Studies Department of Leiden University. I am interested in literature, cinema and TV series (nowadays Korean). Me as a Teacher: I hold firm to two main principles: providing a comfortable environment and creating an encouraging atmosphere. My students always tell me that I am patient, positive and well-organized. I have developed an aptitude for making learning Turkish much easier, more efficient and practical. My professionalism also allows me to tailor language education according to individual interests, needs, and capacities. I use a book prepared by a university in Turkey. You will not hesitate to make mistakes. After a while, you will realize your mistakes and start to correct yourself. Do you think that learning Turkish isn't easy? By progressing systematically in your learning journey, you will not feel the difficulties and will enjoy it. My lessons & teaching style: Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid knowledge of grammar because Turkish has a very different structure. I use a book set that Istanbul University prepares. The course book is structured with a strategic approach to learning Turkish by using all the language skills: reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking from A1 to C2. All these skills are essential for conversation. I will give you tips on how to study Turkish, so you can work more effectively and learn Turkish well. The workbook includes many exercises for homework or revision. I support the book with my authentic materials. I use a board that you can see anytime, and you can edit it, too. Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons. I will share all the materials (books, audio, videos, authentic materials) with you according to your level. Notes: There are 5 levels in total in Turkish: A1-A2 level (basic), B1-B2 level (intermediate), C1+ (advanced). You could complete all levels 2.5 times faster by having private lessons compared to group lessons. No matter what level you're at! Are you ready to start speaking? Don't worry about the rest; let's decide which level you learn Turkish. :) Turkish Lessons for Kids: You can contact me if you want your child to learn Turkish naturally with games, songs, learning cards, and educational videos. In this lesson for students between the ages of 5 and 16, I will help them love and speak Turkish. I will make your child feel comfortable while learning in my lessons with rich and fun materials. Görüşmek üzere :)
