Subjects

  • School Tutoring

English

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have the patience which teaching demands and will work closely with the learners to help improve problem areas. I have experience teaching grades 4, 5, 6 and 7. I am enthusiastic and can easily bring the English language to life.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I love Afrikaans and I have always obtained an 'A' symbol in it. I have a great passion for language and literature and thus enjoy teaching, and sharing my information and knowledge with students. I have taught Afrikaans before at 3 schools.

Natural Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9

I have experience teaching Natural Science in primary schools. I enjoy all aspects of it and have received positive feedback on my lessons.

Life Orientation

Grade 1 - Grade 12

I have experience teaching Life Orientation. I love to make it more interactive and to help students learn through discovery, instead of just teaching theory. Learners enjoy this more and excel at it.

Mathematics

Grade 1 - Grade 9

Maths can be a tough subject, requiring proper guidance. I have the time and attitude necessary to commit to the students, helping them grow to reach their potential. I have taught Maths in 3 schools before.

Reviews from others

“She has been so patient with Vhuthu and was very determined to make a difference which i believe she achieved. Ever since she started tutoring Vhuthu, from failing during her first term, Vhuthu never failed again for remaining three terms. I am proud to say Vhuthu has passed her grade and she will be in grade 6 next year. Thanks to Michaela's efforts, i am very proud of her. Hope to see her in 2020 and i am wishing her the very best in life and her journey in improving the young minds. Not forgetting the teachme2 team for being there when i needed help with my young one. I really appreciate your assistance and the way you were so quick to allocate someone for my girl. Thumbs up Team.”

“Michaela is very creative in identifying preferred methods of learning, encouraging Rorisang to think differently and enabling him to be more confident in his approach to work. She has been very patient and we managed to find a good working mechanism. I am looking forward to 2020 as there is has been such great improvement in the last 3 months.”
