• Prepare learners for control tests with short timed practice drills
• Run live video lessons with a headset, whiteboard app and stable connection
• Write a short progress note for parents after each session
• Assess a new learner's level with a short diagnostic test

• Own transport for home tutoring posts
• Currently studying at university, or holding a degree or diploma
• Clear, patient way of explaining ideas
• Police clearance for work with minors

• Second language for learners who study in Afrikaans or isiZulu
• TEFL or TESOL certificate for English tutoring

• Work from home on online posts
• Hourly rate that rises with your ratings and results
