Fadzai D - Tutor in Sunnyside

Hi there! You can call me Fadzi :) I have a superpower — I'm great with kids. Bring on the homework, spelling tests and speeches, I'm ready and I'll make sure that your kid is too. I've been a private tutor for over 4 years and I absolutely love working with children ages 4 to 12. I have a tremendous amount of patience and the special ability to truly understand an individual child's learning needs. I am responsible, communicative and I make learning fun. If you are looking for an efficient tutor, who will increase your child's confidence and school performance, then I'm definitely worth considering.

If you study the most successful people in the world, you'll find that most of them have a B.A degree, I'm not surprised. This is the faculty of humanities after all. To obtain this degree I studied a wide range of subjects from Sociology to English to Gender Studies and this has greatly shaped my ability to communicate, interact and teach people.

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    For the past few years I have successfully helped children gain confidence in their maths skills through practice and taking the step-by-step approach. Maths can be a challenge for some young learners as they are being introduced to an abstract concept. I don't mind explaining or practising something over and over again in different ways until a student finally understands.

I have all the required skills and patience to make sure that my learners are able to improve their writing skills.
