I am a 27 year old male with good communication skills and adjust the teaching method according to each student (the main reason some students require tutors in the first place is because the teacher can't attend to the needs of every single student in a class).
I tend to approach it from different angles and understand which method best suits the student.
I focus on areas that the student understands the least until it is fully understood and I am satisfied that they understand. We then take on the smaller areas which is usually due to concentration errors and not because the concept is not understood.
Repetition is key too the majority of the modules I specialize in. It teaches pattern recognition and I tend to expose students to every single scenario they could possibly face.
My previous students have all achieved a marked increase in the overall performance.
30%-40%students went to 50% students minimum.
50%-60% students went to 60%-80% students.
70% students went to 80%-90% students.
Averaging a 10%+ increase with 2 hours additional classes with me every week.

I have matric distinctions (90%+) in:
Mathematics
Physics (physical science & chemistry)
Accounting
Biology
English (home language)
Afrikaans (home language)

I put my all into teaching, because I also struggled and had to figure it out on my own.

I wise man can teach you more than what a 1000 books can teach you and in a shorter period.

Don't struggle, but rather reach out early in life!

Education

Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) (Jan, 2016–now) from University of Pretoria, South Africa

Fee details

N$50–90/hour (US$3.08–5.54/hour)

Multiple students in a class will be cheaper ( no more than 4 per session to ensure personal attention).
Travelling distance will influence the fee.
The content that has to be taught (grade, degree of difficulty) influence the fee.
An eager to learn student will ensure quicker and better communication, and will therefore influence the fee.
Time of day will influence the fee. I will accommodate all hours of the day, as long as it is scheduled 2 weeks in advance. Before 8am and after 6pm will be charged more.
