About Mignon
Besides the creative enjoyment I experienced while studying poetry through UNISA (University of South Africa), I am essentially a perpetual student in the world of poetry. Most of all, poetry is teaching me the simple - yet brave - joy of expression.
One of my favourite quotes by Hemingway goes, “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Poetry only really feels complicated when we are trying to tame it or force it too much. The real magic lies in letting it guide your pen... .

Poetry is the one area in teaching where I feel a strict methodology should never be used. Instead, I wish to inspire an evoking of one's own passion for writing in my students & let them seek out the quintessential poet abiding there within their pen.
I base a lot of my teaching & reading on Shakespeare, Whitman, Maya Angelou &, uniquely, Byron’s poem ‘Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage’, to name a few. The study course material accompanying much of these works is based on UNISA’s latest literary material. I am very happy to adapt this to whatever course work you are using, if you are seeking a tutor for exam purposes, as opposed to doing these tutorials for personal development or interest.
I also then take a dive into a brief but fascinating history of the English Language, as well as sharing a perspective on how to make Shakespearean & ‘Old’ English relatable, remarkably enjoyable &, well let’s face it, relatively comprehendible. I also do an unpacking of the 5 Elements of Poetry: the splashes of lyrical paint that we can throw onto the canvas of our poems, if we so desire. Furthermore, an overview of Writing Skills, Poetic Imagery, Structure, Style & Rhythm of Poetry, Free Verse, & a quick look at the lyrical poetry of rap.
The first assignment centers on becoming more familiar with writing free verse poetry, or any style of poetry you choose, & does not need to be handed in. The aim in this is for you to warm up those writing muscles & seek out something that you are passionate enough about to bring to life on paper.
The second assignment relates to becoming more familiar with ‘Old English’ literature, while the final assignment has to do with poetic form & rhythm.
Again, to focus on your specific needs, these assignments can be adjusted to suit your course work if you are working toward exams.

I have known Mignon for more than 10 years and have seen her exhibiting the highest levels of productivity in her tutoring jobs. She is dependable and professional in presenting her subject with intelligence and energy.
I would recommend Mignon to the other Superprof members for her effective practical interaction with students of all ages and her engaging personal style and upbeat personality. She is very well organised and consistently maintains high standards of quality and skillfulness. Her friendly, non-judgmental character makes her adaptable and accessible to all spheres of people.
Mignon is well-loved in her community and continuously finds ways to make a difference.What is knowledge without passion? Or learning without enthusiasm? What is theory without the effective deliverance thereof?
With a background in Communication Science studies as well as her life-long passion for journalism and film, Mignon is a prime candidate for giving lessons in Journalism. Her background in the corporate and sales sectors as well as childcare and hospitality contribute to her holistic nature and all-rounded abilities.I have known Mignon for a very long time and if there is one person in this world I can truly rely on, any time no matter the circumstance, it would be her. She is kind, intelligent, trustworthy with anything and above all she loves people.
