Subjects taught
  • Statistics

    Firstly, I enjoy this subject and feel it is vital to know and understand, so it can be used in future for research projects and even at work. I also achieved a distinction in my Bsc and enjoy using statistics functions on Excel

    Victoria teaches Statistics at High School and Primary School level(s)

  • Mathematics

    I have tutored Mathematics from Gr 4 to Gr 9 from previous work experience and love seeing my students do better in their tests and exams. I am also good at explaining and prep beforehand so the lesson caters for what areas the student is battling within mathematics

  • Microsoft Excel

    I am a proficient user on Microsoft Excel, which I achieved by learning by myself and then using it at my previous work, by setting up worksheets that contained values (water usages, customer complaints etc) and trends. I also gave numerous free lessons for basic computer skills (Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel) to my community at the Airforce base Makhado.
