With over five years of instructional and tutoring experience, I have covered various academic disciplines, including Psychology, Social Work, and Criminology, all delivered in English. My expertise extends to teaching both the Shona and English languages across proficiency levels, accommodating learners from 10 to 50+ years of age. I have successfully imparted language skills to high school and tertiary students, catering to individuals from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. In addition, I have served as a psychology tutor for students at university levels 1, 2, and 3. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach focuses on active individual participation and engagement. I strive to adapt my teaching style to accommodate diverse learning preferences and create an enjoyable learning experience. I maintain an approachable and inclusive teaching style, which is highly flexible to accommodate various learning techniques. My lessons are personalised to ensure that each student comprehensively understands and masters the Shona and English languages.
Feel free to schedule your Shona and English lessons with me, and let's engage in conversations in these beautiful languages.My teaching material

My teacher was absent so I had to take courses with an other teacher. I have chosen Hazel and I don’t regret because she is very kind and helpful. I recommend this teacher. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hazel is awesome, very patient and sharing her way to remember Shona words and giving the English equivalent. I am learning at a good pace and using it at every opportunity.
