During my time at school, I graduated with the highest English score in my grade. During college, I have been an editor for my university's journal, secretary for the student government, and president... of the International Students Organization. As an international student with a first language in English and a second in Afrikaans, I have assisted other international students with improving their English skills and writing papers. I love working with people of all ages and will strive to bring out the best in my students. read more

Hi there! My name is Jemma Van Jaarsveldt! I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, and am now getting my degree in South Carolina. My hobbies include dancing (ballet, modern, contempora... ry, lyrical, and tap), singing, acting, tutoring others in Public Speaking, English, Theatre, History, peer mentoring, and hiking. My tutoring philosophy is always to make sure that I help my students achieve the self-confidence they need to be the best students they can be. I believe in a gentle and kind approach to helping them achieve their goals at their own pace so that it’s an enjoyable experience for them! What makes me “Jemma” is that I am a positive, energetic person that loves to work with others. I am always open to learning new things and enjoy learning about other people's outlooks on life.read more
