English Learned Through The South African Music History & Culture: Part 1

The primary mission of this lesson is to use the English language and explore the history of South African Music.

The lesson aims to expand your intellect, feed your curiosity, and nourish your soul through the perpetual joy of music.

Music is culture. You probably have heard the saying, “Something about this song has just touched a deep node of my soul and pulled tears to my eyes”
How many times have you heard that? The tears I am talking about could be of joy or pain.

Music has the ability to take you through the bitter-sweet journey. And that is the ultimate beauty about music.

In this lesson, we dive deep into learning about the South African Music & Culture. Where it all started, and its transformation over the years to become a beautiful melody it is today.

We will explore different music genres for all different ethnic groups and cultures in the South Africa context.

Music is the universal language. Music in itself is healing. It is an explosive expression of humanity, something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from. Everyone just loves music.

No matter where we are from, Music sings to us all. We all understand its divine language and our souls are forever linked by its melody.
It is the great unifying force that pulls us all together, allowing us to walk together as one.

Music teaches us that we are not alone. It can be a guide and a teacher to guide us along life’s path

About Me

Hello, I am Billy from South Africa. I am a TESOL certified teacher and have been tutoring for just under 3 years.

You will agree with me that the "One size fits all" teaching style is flawed because it assumes all students learn the same way.

My approach is flexible and adaptable to new ways of doing things differently.

My focus is student-centered and intended to suit the student's learning needs and aspirations.

I prefer using task-based learning to sequence learning activities and encourage discussions and demonstrations to promote learning through interaction.

Let's get ready to start your learning journey together. I am really looking forward to meeting you soon and we start working together.

I have bundles of enthusiasm and a real ambition to succeed. I am adaptable and flexible to new ways of doing things. I am part of a solution and enjoy moving forward with my students to unlock new possibilities as a collective.

Let's get the English conversation going and we start practicing. Languages are easier when we learn together, and one on one language training delivers great result.

During our learning journey, we will start building up a list of new English words to improve and increase your vocabulary. (If you write them down they stay forever in your memory)

I believe in a Mantra: " If you add a little to a little and do this often, soon the little becomes Great"

Promising to make better choices in the next time doesn’t work, it only pushes us into the imaginary future We have to start doing things in the now!

This lesson we dive deep into silent letters from A – to - Z to learn a list of English words with silent letters. A Silent Letter is a particular word, that makes the spelling of words different from their pronunciation. The English language is full of words whose written form can be deceptive. They are called Silent Letters. Silent letters cause difficulties for both native speakers and English learners because they make the spelling of words different from their pronunciation. It's a series of words that are written in a way that seems very different from their sound. Here are some common English words with silent letters from A to Z! align, alight, champagne, diaphragm, gnaw, high, light, reign, though, right, drought, eight, weigh, etc.

Sereina
Tutoring and exam preparation Spanish and English
English and Spanish are world languages and more and more people of all ages are discovering the opportunities that come with learning these beautiful languages - especially traveling and getting to know other countries and cultures. English is a compulsory subject in all schools and at all levels, and Spanish is also offered as a core or elective subject in many high schools. I lived in a Spanish-speaking environment for several years (Mexico, Spain, Paraguay) and also began my first degree in Spanish language and literature at the University of Zurich. I took an IELTS diploma in English two years ago so that I could study in English. I love languages and I really enjoy teaching them to other people. As I majored in Spanish at high school, I know what knowledge is required at this level for the exams and especially the Matura.

Carmen
English, mathematics and general school support from Primary to High School
Using my experience as a student, I first teach the vocabulary that will later be memorized through different exercises, both written and oral. This is how grammar will also be implemented. We will try to liven up the classes with short videos and songs from time to time, as I think they are a good tool to improve oral comprehension. If parents prefer to focus on general school support, we will work on the most difficult subjects, trying to give some time to each one, in a pedagogical and calm way.
