    About me

    Hello, my name is Jacomien. Welcome to my profile! I know that it takes courage to start learning a new language, so... congratulations on taking your first step!


    I am a Level 5, 168 hour TEFL-certified tutor with more than 500 hours experience on this platform and also a qualified librarian. I tutor English, as well as Afrikaans.


    I am fluent in English and Afrikaans on C2 level. Both are Germanic languages. Therefor, I specialize in teaching people with a Germanic language as first language, eg, Dutch and German.


    A lilttle bit about me: I am from a small town east of Pretoria, the capitol of South Africa. I am a part-time librarian. My teaching experience: I was a group leader in local summer camps for several years as well as a Sunday school teacher and really enjoyed working with children and youth of all ages. (However: I do not specialize in teaching children, at this time.) Being a librarian, I love reading. I also love traveling, experiencing other languages and cultures and learning new languages, opening new horizons.


    Another passion of mine is music and doing all sorts of handcrafting. I play the recorder, djembe and cajon.


    As you can see, my interests and hobbies are quite diverse. Although I am introverted, I love conversations with people, getting to know them and their interests.


    I would love to meet you and join you on your English language learning journey, talking about you favorite things, making this an enjoyable journey!



    I am Level 5 TEFL certified and I am working towards an OET certification, as well as a qualification in Business English. I have several years of teaching in a formal and informal teaching environment.



    Are you nervous to start your journey on this new path to speak fluent Afrikaans or English? Do not be frightened. I will create a calm and easy-going environment where you can make mistakes as you learn. I will not laugh. I am going to help you achieve your goals, every step of the way.

      I have just completed 35 lessons with Jacomien and am thoroughly enjoying the lessons with her. Afrikaans is such an interesting language, especially for those who already speak other germanic languages. I initially requested that the lessons be solely conducted in Afrikaans and that Jacomien use methods to help me better understand the language without the use of translating directly into English and she has been able to accomplish this. My preferred method of learning is the direct method. I have seen my improvement over the last few months and plan to continue to take lessons with her for time to come. Do not hesitate to sign up with Jacomien. You will not be disappointed!
