Matome M - Tutor in Cape Town

I've always been passionate about teaching the learners science during my high school days. My physical science teacher afforded me the opportunity to teach grade 11 and 12 learners since i was the best learner in science and mathematics. Over the 8 years of tutoring, i have learnt that all students are different and that they grasp material at different rates. I have developed unique ways of delivering the material to accommodates different students. I have tutoring experience for both chemistry and physics at tertiary and high school level. Physics and chemistry were my major subjects for my Bsc degree at university in addition to the chemical engineering degree that i have.

Subjects taught
  • Physical Science

    My experience in tutoring rather than my good grades makes me the best tutor of choice. In my 8 years of tutoring, on one-on-one basis, not a single student of mine has ever failed. I received bonus pay from the parents for the good work that i've done. In addition, my learners always scored above 80% for the subjects i tutored. For the group lessons (ranging from 15 - 50) the pass rate was always above 95%.
