Mathematics Tutor

My dream and passion was to be a teacher , in order to make a difference in the lives of students , especially to those who believed that they couldn't do mathematics. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Education in Intermediate & Senior Phase I embarked on tutoring students after working hours. Over the last 5 years I have tutored 18 students. I have built up my student base by word of mouth, I have references from parents of students that I tutored. My belief is that every learner is unique and deserves the opportunity to be in an enviroment that challenges them as well as celebrates their individuality . I am a believer that each student deserves to have equal opportunities to succeed socially , emotionally and academically.
