About Me

Hallo! Ek is Maronel. I was born and raised in South Africa, growing up on a beautiful citrus farm in a small Eastern Cape community. Having lived in three different provinces, I have a deep love for the diverse rhythms of Afrikaans. With a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Linguistics and an Honours in Psychology, I don't just teach a language—I understand the science behind how we learn. Whether you are starting with 'Hoe gaan dit?' or diving into deeper conversations, I’m here to bridge the gap with patience, cultural insight, and a passion for my roots. Let’s make Afrikaans feel like home!Me as a Teacher
With two years of teaching experience, I’ve learned that a supportive environment is the key to confidence. My background in Psychology allows me to tailor my approach to your unique learning style, ensuring you feel heard and encouraged. I strive to be more than just a tutor; I want to be a partner in your language journey. Whether you're learning to connect with loved ones, explore your heritage, or expand your business ventures, I provide a warm, engaging space where curiosity is celebrated and mistakes are just stepping stones to success. My lessons & teaching style
Expect lessons that are as vibrant as South Africa itself! I believe in 'living' the language, so we move beyond just textbooks. My sessions are interactive and packed with variety: from grammar and reading to roleplay, quizzes, and videos. We’ll even dive into current trends and local slang so you sound like a local. I offer tailored tracks for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. My goal is to make every lesson practical and fun, giving you real-world skills you can use immediately.My teaching material

I really enjoyed our Afrikaans lesson. Maronel prepared a few roleplaying exercises and provided feedback, and then we did a reading comprehension exercise. Maronel was friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the lesson. I'm feeling more confident about my ability to hold conversations in Afrikaans and look forward to more lessons!

Maronel is the best! Each lesson is tailored toward my progress. She is patient and fun. The lessons are a personalized mix of grammar and sentence structure, but also fun things like reading or role-playing so it never gets boring or overwhelming. Highly recommend!
