Marguerite B - Tutor in Diswilmar AH

I am a Johannesburg-based tutor currently completing my third degree; this is in Psychometry through the University of Johannesburg. I did a Bachelor of Science majoring in physiology, psychology and genetics on undergraduate level, and did an Honours in Psychology (passed Cum Laude). Both these degrees I obtained from Stellenbosch University. I have extensive tutoring experience in all subjects from Grade 2 up until Grade 12 (including GED), and I have tutored Afrikaans, English, Mathematics, Mathematics Literacy, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. I have also tutored first year and Honours year Psychology. I have an holistic approach to tutoring, and take the learner's personality, resources and time in account, and not just to help them with the content of their work, but also with approaches to studying they can implement and apply.

  • Afrikaans

    Afrikaans is not only my Home Language, but I also have a big love and passion for it. My final mark for Grade 12 Afrikaans Home Language (IEB) was 92%. I have tutored Afrikaans to both primary and high school students, and use various learning methods to make it easier for students to understand.
