IGCSE English · Literacy Specialist · Johannesburg
If your teenager has worked with other tutors and is still struggling — there is usually a root cause. I find it, diagnose it, and rebuild from there.

I meet each student where they are, and walk with them toward who they are becoming.
— Charmaine Albers
The Approach
Most tutors reteach what the school already taught. I look deeper — at how your child processes language, where the gap actually is, and what will unlock real progress.
Sessions
Phono-Graphix certified reading therapy for students who struggle with decoding, fluency, or comprehension from the ground up.
Targeted Cambridge IGCSE exam technique — comprehension, language analysis, essay writing and literature response.
Online sessions for UK and international students. Timezone-friendly scheduling, same specialist approach, from anywhere in the world.
About
I am a literacy specialist and certified reading therapist with 25 years of international teaching experience across South Africa and the United Kingdom. I work with students who have tried other routes and are still stuck — because I don't just reteach, I find where the difficulty actually starts.
My approach draws on Phono-Graphix, structured literacy, and 25 years of classroom and one-to-one experience to build lasting skills — not just exam results.
