Klaas P - Tutor in Wilgeheuwel
I am a very focused young man who has always had a passion for teaching. I am very good with numbers and I was very good in Mathematics in High School. I am a qualified Industrial Engineer currently working in Supply Chain in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. My love for problem solving and analytics started way back in high school. I had always enjoyed mind games, which also helped improve my analytical skills. Also take my time as a student, when I was pursuing BEng (Industrial Engineering), the degree involved a lot of analytics and problem solving. I enjoy working with numbers and a lot of data, I also enjoy teaching others about anything analytical. With my background in planning in the FMCG industry, I have come to love using tools like Excel, Access, and VBA for process simplification & automation. I use Excel mostly for data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and building of dashboard reports. I also enjoy assisting colleagues and friends across all fields who work with a lot of data or those whose jobs requires them to have MS excel skills to equip themselves with analytical skills required to act in their jobs. I am passionate about creating of excel macros, mostly to assist with creation of repetitive (daily, weekly, monthly) reports. I have a desire to continuously learn and I love being around people who can bring the best out of me.

Education
BEng Industrial Engineering - University of Pretoria
Industrial Engineering is an extensive field of study since it consists of many diverse scientific disciplines with interfaces to various fields of study from the sciences, engineering and management. It encompass, for example, mathematical models and computer programs, manufacturing and production problems and financial and management systems or marketing or negotiation with a labor union. If one characteristic of Industrial Engineering has to be isolated then it may be the capability of the Industrial Engineer to integrate the contributions of all the other engineering disciplines into a final, functional and marketable product, at the lowest possible cost, by using system knowledge and understanding. This "product" may be a factory, or a part of a factory, or a logistic supply chain, or a computer program, or a quality management system, or even a procedure or a plan of action.
BEng Hons Technology Management - University of Pretoria
The program is aimed at engineers and scientists who have recently completed a bachelor's degree. The objective is to produce engineers and scientists who not only have technological capabilities, but also the ability to manage technology – specialists who know not only how to develop and deploy technology but also why. The degree builds on and adds value to the young engineer's and scientist's undergraduate education by exposing him or her to the management of technology and the management of technological innovation. Thereby skills are acquired that are not normally addressed at undergraduate level, but are nonetheless increasingly being sought after in industry.
Subjects taught
-
Mathematics Literacy
I am passionate about teaching, and I am very good in Mathematics. I matriculated in 2008 with distinction on the subject and since then I have assisted many learners with Mathematics. My passion extends to the fact that I can do research on concepts that may be troublesome for me to find different angles were they can be attacked
