Tazara D - Tutor in Brenthurst

Well my name is Tazara, I have been tutoring now for over a year. My favorite subjects are Mathematics and Chemistry, but I am able to assist with Physics, English and Biology I studied two years of Chemical Engineering at TUKS, but decided this was not the route I wanted to take and have instead decided to pursue a career in teaching. I enjoy being able to assist my students in improving understanding and enjoyment of the subjects I help them with. I don't have a set way of teaching as I like to be able to work with a student to discover how they work best and what helps them to learn or understand most effectively, as each student is an individual with their own strengths and requirements. I have assisted students that just want to up their grades. To a student who was dyslexic and ADHD and then required more intensive attention. I find tutoring to be a rewarding job and take pride in the work I do and love being able to see a student improve and find confidence in themselves and the work they do.

Experience / Education
I completed my schooling at Ashton International College doing AS and A Level Subject. Biology 81%, Maths 68%, Physics 77%, Chemistry 80%, English 74%, Afrikaans 78%, History 90% I then went on to do two years Chemical Eng. at Pretoria University, due to financial constraint I was not able to continue. I started tutoring and have decided to study teaching instead as I am enjoying working with the students. I have now been tutoring for over a year teaching Primary and Senior School students. Mostly English and Mathematics all my students have seen an improvement. I would like to do more Chemistry and Physics tutoring along with the Mathematics and am hoping these opportunities will be available.
Subjects taught
  • Math

    I am able to teach a logical approach to questions. Direction on which formulae or properties to use in a question. I have the background of Cambridge AS and my University Mathematics. I am also able to teach how best to approach exam papers and make the most time given. Again it will depend on the area the student is having difficulties with.

  • Chemistry

    This is one of my favorite subjects. So I of course bring my enthusiasm, along with this is my ability to explain the concepts and how approach to questions logically and effectively. I did AS and A Level Chemistry passing with a distinction.

  • Biology

    Is a subject that I really love. Biology is a practical learning subject, but it is important to understand the concepts and ideas and be able to explain them. I am able to assist in teaching concepts and application for testing and exam purposes. I studied Biology up to A level and received a distinction.

  • Physics

    Physics is not an easy subject. I had to put a lot of hard work into my own studies, this I feel has allowed me a good background in understanding how best to explain the concepts and formulae required. It is important to learn how to approach the questing logically and step by step. It is a subject I took to AS Level with a 77% pass.

  • English

    Reading and words are a passion for me. I enjoy assisting people to work creatively. I did well with English in High School and got 70% for AS Level English. I am able to work with ideas, planning and structure. Literal and figurative language, use of Metaphors etc.
