Brett G - Tutor in Blue Hills
I have over 5 years of tutoring experience at a high school and university level. I have taken students from failing to distinction. I tailor the lesson to the individual. In order to effectively educate students, we need to create relatable lessons that encourage understanding and retention. I understand what it feels like to be lost and without hope. I not only try to give students the technical knowledge they require to pass, but I attempt to create a positive mindset centred around self-belief. This self-belief gives students the confidence to tackle any academic challenges both now and in the future. I have an MBA, PGDip General Management, Dip Management Accounting and BCom Financial Management Sciences. I matriculated in 2009. I have come top of my class in various subjects throughout my academic career. Professionally I have worked in the finance departments of major telecommunications, mining and engineering companies. Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that It is stupid - Albert Einstein

Subjects taught

Statistics
I have extensive experience in research statistics. I conducted a quantitative analysis for my master's thesis. I am comfortable with outlining data assumptions, using IBM SPSS and Excel, data cleaning, data validation, and results reporting. Ideally, I would like to help post grads with research statistics.

Economics
I have received distinctions in economics at a masters level. My thesis topic for my MBA was the relationships between outward foreign direct investment, gross national income and home-country economic competitiveness. I have tutored individuals to distinctions in the past.

Biology
I received a distinction for this in matric. Both my parents are veterinarians, so I guess it runs in the blood. I can help with all parts of the subject. Plants, animals, humans, you name it! The key is to learn your diagrams in a way that enables you to easily recall them in the tests.

Physical Science
I have tutored the subject multiple time before. I have a natural flair for physics. I received 95% for my physics paper in matric. It’s quite easy once you grasp the logic. Someone just needs to show you how to make the connections. Chemistry is not my speciality.
