Miles T - Tutor in Eden Glen
As a budding tutor with over a year's experience, I'm really interested in looking at learning methods that will help students get the best results. I've been blessed with opportunities to help dozens of learners study, and I get deep satisfaction from seeing them do better in their classes, and actually get interested and engaged once they understand what's going on! I'm quite patient, easy going and agreeable; and when I'm not tutoring I enjoy reading, making art and watching movies. I believe that education is the best investment for a learner's life and the community he or she lives in, and I always jump at the chance to contribute to this cause.

I'm majoring in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. The math is heavily based on algebra and calculus, and on using these facets to make models and predictions of real-life scenarios. The computer side is more focused on computer theory and how these machines work, with a little bit of coding here and there.

Subjects taught
-
Mathematics
I am relatively good at Mathematics, achieved a distinction for it in High School, and I am hoping to pursue a degree in this field later on in the year. I enjoyed studying this subject in both High School and Primary School and did a lot of extra-curricular math programmes, such as Kumon and AP Maths.

Biology
I have always had a keen interest in Physical Sciences, and I was previously pursuing an MBBCh at the University of Wits before deciding to pursue other career options after three years of undergraduate study. The course was physics and biology - heavy, and I believe my experiences have given me an advantage in this field.
