Bio
It has always been a pleasure to teach and tutor primary school children. It is my passion! I am honest, hardworking and empathetic. I always strive to do my best to help a pupil achieve their goals!
My greatest gift at helping children is patience! I worked with thousands of children over the years and many of them from wheelchair pupils, learning disabled and very bright pupils have been successfully helped. I also have attention to detail, empathy and I am very focused. I have also designed my own techniques, programs to develop the child. What a joy it is to see a child improve!

Subjects

Mathematics
I have taught Mathematics from Grade 1 to Grade 7 in schools and tutored privately for 34 years. It is wonderful and rewarding to see the pupils improve especially the remedial pupils. I have designed and used special techniques to achieve these results! I have also tutored Grade 8's positively!
English
English is a fabulous subject to tutor. It is such a diverse subject - from reading, spelling, comprehension, grammar and story writing. it is wonderful to see the pupils grow from strength to strength as they develop in this subject. there is always a lot to teach them.
Afrikaans
It is a wonderful subject to teach - especially from the beginning stages and as a second language. They start knowing nothing and they can spell and read and write it when you have worked with them. Very rewarding!
History
Very interesting subject! Interesting to teach them about the past. And also teach them learning techniques. How to answer questions and do projects.
Geography
Geography is about the present and what happens in the world around them. Very exciting to impart it to them. Fun to work on projects, tests, assignments and watch them grow. To develop their learning techniques is rewarding!
Natural Science
Very interesting subject. Teaching understanding and learning methods - very rewarding to see them master this subject. They can also learn good learning techniques here.
Life Orientation
This is a fabulous subject to teach as pupils learn about people and their traditions. They learn how to understand other cultures and religions. They learn about drugs, the bodies etc. Working through the projects, assignments and questions is very exciting! Teaches them to think!
Study skills
I have loved helping learners study for tests and exams! Especially with History and Geography! It is wonderful to see them grow and watch their marks improve! They also understand the subject better! Every learner can get positive results!
