School Tutoring
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB & CAMBRIDGEMathematics is a subject that is often perceived as difficult, but with the right guidance, it can become a fascinating and rewarding challenge. As a tutor, I am passionate about helping students overcome their fears and excel in math. Let's work together!
Physical Science
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB & CAMBRIDGEPhysics is about the application of Algrebra to logical problems while taking into account a few laws/rules. Having scored a distinction in the subject and managing to tutor this subject quite a bit now, I have a set of techniques which will help better understand the subject.
Accounting
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB & CAMBRIDGEAccounting is simply about piecing logic together in an ordered fashion. Having scored a distinction in the subject and later completing a few Accounting modules in University, I have a set of techniques which will improve your understanding of the subject.
AP Maths
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB & CAMBRIDGEI achieved a 100% Maths pass rate in the Limpopo Department of Education. In Mechanical Engineering, I received the Best Lecturer Award in 2003 for Mechanics of Machines and was recognized as the Well-Behaved Lecturer in 2004.
Mathematics Literacy
Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB & CAMBRIDGEI have leveraged my extensive experience tutoring Mathematics across various grades to effectively teach Mathematics Literacy, helping students build confidence, understand concepts clearly, and achieve better results.

Cameron grew in leaps and bounds in his confidence and his commitment to his studies whilst being tutored by Thami. Thami is an excellent tutor and role model and we thank him for his commitment to Cams studies. Highly recommend Thami he wowed and impressed in very way! Thank you
Jenny
He has been an absolute gem and did not mind putting in extra time especially for the last matric exam. He was always prepared and if he didn't know, he would email Eben with updates. Thank you so much for your support over the years and especially the last month.
Lindi
Rhulani is very comfortable with Thami, he is has given her confidence in her studies not only the subjects he tutors her on but all of her subjects. She is more focused and dedicated in studying. With the little time she has spent with Thami her attitude towards her studies have changed.
Kgomotso
He made an extra effort to get past year papers to Caleb. He also kept us informed of the progress as the lessons went on and we were able to help appropriately. I found his punctuality to the lessons very refreshing.
Syan
Thami understands the subject matter, bith maths and accounting, is patient and will not live a topic unclear even when the time has lapsed. Unathi is comfortable with him, which is comendable as she naturally struggles to get comfortable with people. I would recommend Thami any day and look forward to continued lessons even in Matric.
Nolundi
Thami has been an awesome tutor and we will definitely want to use him again next year. Joshua has benefited so well from his assistance!
Michelle
He clicks really well with Adriaan, has a positive attitude and obviously loves maths and Adriaan says "He really knows what he is talking about". He takes the lead and gently guides Adriaan in the right direction by building him up rather than criticising. Also good communication and flexible with booking sessions
