Angus L - Tutor in Zevenfontein 407-Jr

My name is Angus Lowe. I have an Honours degree in education with a weird nerdy passion for English, history and geography. I have loved helping people all my life and always try to give my students the opportunity to learn in their own unique ways. I have worked with young students right through to matrics. I can assist with many different subjects and will always have a caring side to try and make sure that you sustain your success. I love my horses and have learnt a lot about my teaching methods from how I train my horses and I put the same care into my students so that they can achieve their greatest successes. I often enjoy trying to find new methods for helping people learn and don’t enjoy using progressive methods of teaching to help my students and to cater to their needs.

  • History

    I am extremely passionate about history. I majored in it at university and have taught it at a high school level. I am very familiar with multiple types of curriculums (NSC, IEB and Cambridge). Is enjoy making the study of history and often like to try new things and do virtual world tours to current historic sites. I enjoy making it an exciting learning experience to assist students in understanding it and possibly getting their own passion for the subject. I strive to uphold that the deeper learning experiences of history is for critical analysis and not merely retainment of knowledge and so I try to assist students in developing their critical analysis skills through the pursuit of history.

  • Geography

    I have always been passionate about the social sciences. Helping expand students knowledge of the world that surrounds them and how it affects them is a special passion of mine.

I find it incredibly fascinating and only hope that my passion is passed on a little bit to my students. I have taught geography at highschool level and studied it at university.
