Mathematics tutorI am a young mathematical sciences graduate who is interested in the development and application of mathematical and scientific skills. I believe that Mathematics and its various topics gives an individual a systematic and logical way of thinking, especially when instilled when one is at a young age, that is at school level. I would like to remove the misconception that Maths is for a selected few, with proper guidance anyone can excel in Maths. I enjoy showing students that Maths has applications and is not there to make their lives difficult. I make my students independent thinkers by leaving them able to solve similar or related problems on their own.

Experience: I was a substitute Mathematics and Physical Science teacher back in 2008 at Mayibenye Senior Secondary School. This is a high school located in a village next to Flagstaff in the rural Eastern Cape. At the school I was teaching three classes in which the smallest, according to the number of learners had seventy-five learners. The classes had an average pass rate of 77% in the subjects that I taught.
In 2011 and 2012 I was a full time mathematics tutor at a South African company Master Maths.I got along well with the learners and interaction was with learners from varying backgrounds. I am now able to interact with school learners and can help them to become independent thinkers. Two of my learners who were on the Advanced Mathematics Programme passed with distinctions.
