About Marie-Louise
Hi! I am a published author, freelance manuscript editor, and long-time virtual educator holding a BA (Honours) degree, a 120-hour TEFL qualification, and a 60-hour Teaching English Online certificate.
Having spent my career deeply immersed in words—from publishing fiction to editing specialised documents—I know that mastering English takes more than rules; it takes confidence. My approach combines academic depth with genuine warmth and patience. Drawing on a rich background across diverse subjects, I make sure every session is engaging, practical, and focused on helping you reach your personal and academic goals.

My lessons are designed to be warm, engaging, and low-pressure. Language anxiety is the single biggest barrier to fluency, which is why I focus on creating a supportive, safe environment where you or your child can ask questions, make mistakes, and build genuine confidence.
Because no two learners are the same, I do not use rigid, generic templates or one-size-fits-all worksheets. Every lesson is tailored to your specific goals, curriculum, or projects.
What Makes My Approach Unique?
Guided by a Published Author: You aren't just memorising grammar rules—you are learning from a writer and editor who understands how to make language flow, structure stories, and write with clarity and style.
True Bilingual & Structural Insights: Writing and editing in both English and Afrikaans gives me a deep understanding of the structural friction points between the two languages (such as word order, direct translation traps, and idioms). I make complex grammar rules suddenly "click."
Low-Pressure & Patient Space: Grounded in empathy, my sessions eliminate fear so you can build real-world conversational and writing confidence fast.
High-Level Professional Precision: Drawing on a background in specialised editorial work and legal proofreading, I offer advanced guidance for university students and working professionals navigating English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Marie-Louise Steyn for over five and a half years — first as a fellow editor and proofreader, and later as the coordinator overseeing our freelance team. In all that time, she stood out as one of the most meticulous, patient, and genuinely caring people I've ever worked with.
Marie-Louise has spent years working with the English language at the highest level of exactness. Out of a team of more than a hundred, she was in the small handful I'd turn to whenever something needed a truly fine eye — the tricky, high-stakes work where not a single word could be out of place. But what makes her special isn't just her command of English, it's how she shares her knowledge. Her feedback was always on point, given in a way that left you feeling more capable, not less. She has real patience, a gift for explaining things clearly, and a warmth that puts you instantly at ease.
For anyone learning English, those are the qualities that matter: someone who knows the language inside out, corrects you with kindness, and genuinely wants you to succeed. Marie-Louise is all of that. Any student who learns from her is in very good hands, and I can recommend her without hesitation.Marie-Louise is a patient, kind and genuinely encouraging ESL teacher who knows how to make students feel comfortable from the start. Learning a new language can sometimes feel intimidating, but she creates a supportive space where students can practise, ask questions and make mistakes without feeling judged.
Her approach helps students build their English skills at their own pace while also growing in confidence. I would highly recommend Marie-Louise to anyone looking for an approachable and dedicated teacher who truly wants to see her students improve and succeed.View more recommendations
