Petronella M - Tutor in Randburg

Hi! I'm a young, energetic qualified teacher with four years of high school teaching experience who love to work with learners. I've got a B. Ed degree as well as my honours in teaching Mathematics and Physical Science in both English and Afrikaans. I also did a TELF-course, so I can teach English as a foreign language for elementary students to upper intermediate phase. I believe that students only reach their full potential when the teacher can create an atmosphere where optimal learning can take place. I'm a strict, yet loving and caring teacher who'd love to help your reach that potential.

I love Mathematics and I know that a lot of learners have difficulty in understanding this subject. I'd love to show learners that Maths can be great fun and that confidence can lead to improved marks.
