INTRODUCTION
I offer online tutoring in Mathematics and Physics, catering to both primary and secondary school students. You can expect our tutoring sessions to take place via well-known platforms like Skype, Zoom, Google Meet, and Whereby. My commitment lies in addressing each student's unique needs and finding the most suitable scheduling options. From Monday to Friday, I'm dedicated to accommodating your availability. If you have specific requirements or special requests, please feel free to contact me. I'm more than willing to discuss further and ensure your tutoring experience is tailored to your preferences.
BACKGROUND
Back in 1984, I earned my certification as a High School teacher specializing in Mathematics and Physics. By 1987, I had transitioned into a role as a lecturer at a Technical College in Welkom, Orange Free State, South Africa. My teaching journey expanded to include Leseding Technical College in Welkom and Soshanguve Technical College in Rosslyn, Pretoria. Here, I imparted knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering across levels N1 to N6.
Furthermore, my journey includes over two decades of experience as a private tutor, where I have been dedicated to offering individualized guidance and instruction to students.
ENHANCED DBS CERTIFICATE
I hold a current and valid Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Certificate, which reflects my impeccable track record. This certification aligns perfectly with the stringent standards set by the United Kingdom's Disclosure and Barring Service.
PAST & PRESENT TUTORING
I offer online tutoring services to students across a range of countries, spanning the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Taiwan, Singapore, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Leveraging platforms like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet, I'm able to engage and support students regardless of their geographical location. This approach allows me to connect with and provide assistance to students from diverse corners of the world.
METHODOLOGY and APPROACH
My students' learning needs take precedence in my approach. I concentrate on building a strong foundation and nurturing the confidence to effectively apply both current and previous knowledge. I invest time in revisiting and elucidating complex concepts encountered in their school studies, and I also maintain a routine of reviewing past question papers.
For self-directed learning, I provide downloadable resources, including detailed notes, past question papers, and marking schemes. Moreover, I extend my support and assistance during and between our tutoring sessions, urging my students to reach out whenever they need guidance. I foster an environment that encourages open communication and empowers my students to seek help whenever they need it.
