Manthibu M - Tutor in Midrand

Everyone, even the smartest and brightest, needs help sometimes, I want to offer my experiences whenever possible. In high school, my successes in academics attracted motivated learners in lower grades and peers to ask "What did you do to perform well?"Although it is impossible to simply replicate someone else's approach to studying because each individual is unique, my strongest asset has always been my personalized advice and empathy towards others that allows me to find the best solution for them. I am a Chemical Engineering graduate with the utmost passion for Math and Chemistry. These were subjects that I deeply enjoyed in high school, throughout university and still am heavily involved with in my further studies. As a tutor, my goal will be to untangle any academic problem we encounter together and build a connection with you (the student) at the same time. We will go beyond the next test, we will set groundwork that changes your thinking.

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I have a strong understanding of Mathematical concepts on different levels. I also boast the ability to explain any concept intuitively so that someone who has no background in the subject can also follow. The ability to approach a problem from multiple angles , creating metaphors in order to help the student understand why and how we approach a problem. Math requires patience and I have tons of it!

  • Microsoft Excel

    I have mastered the use of advanced excel as a Data Analyst for a retail company. Through this constant use, I have learnt shortcuts, typical errors and how to troubleshoot your own formulas. The above will come in handy when students begin their learning in MS Excel.
