Tutors in Port Elizabeth

I am a qualified Intermediate Phase teacher with a Bachelors in education. I was recently employed as a full-time Primary School English and Natural Science teacher. My majors also include mathematics, however I have ample training in language teaching as well. I taught students grade 4 to 7. I am a caring and compassionate teacher with more than 2 years of total teaching experience. I am passionate about teaching young individuals and deeply committed to enhancing and supporting comprehensive educations. I enjoy teaching and fostering a positive learning environment. I believe myself to be a good problem-solver and communicator with success in various classroom size groups. My philosophy regarding teaching is closely linked to the behaviourism theory and positive reinforcement. If positive behaviour is established, active learning is more efficient and effective. Meaningful learning also involves a constructivism approach; therefore, it is essential to cater for diverse students with different educational needs and backgrounds. I believe if these theories are successfully applied in the classroom, students will be able to develop holistically into successful contributing citizens. I would like to further explore these practices. Through continuous reflection and adaptation, I believe I can make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.

I am a qualified Engineer with a BEng Mechatronics from Nelson Mandela University. I am passionate about helping others and have experience in tutoring learners from Grade 8 - 12 as well as first and second year Mathematics, Physical Science and the Engineering Sciences. The service I provide is a thorough and systematic approach to the worked material by using simple teaching methods. I believe that each student has a unique way of learning and gaining understanding, and it is the duty of the teacher to engage with the student at his/her level. By having a tailor-made approach to each individual student I have found much success in relatively short periods of time. I really enjoy seeing the hard work and effort that students put in be rewarded. Whether it be a low scoring student starting his/her improvement, or a student pushing for distinctions. I am a firm believer in "what you put in, you get out" and as such always encourage students to try their best and apply themselves fully.

I am a self-motivated, hardworking, patient, persistent, and reserved individual of high integrity and moral standard. I have a great passion for teaching. The privilege to share knowledge is quite a drive for me and l feel that l have both the temperament acuity to do it effectively. I also have had some classroom teaching experience, both at the high school level and at the tertiary level, as a university tutor, which has given me quite a perspective on teaching, that learners will find invaluable
