Pieter C - Tutor in Hutten Heights

I am a professional with a great passion for education and therewith the education of our youth. I have obtained my engineering degree from the University of Pretoria and therefore I have strong knowledge of scientific and mathematical concepts. I have previously tutored and I enjoyed the experience and the achievement of seeing my students excel. It gave me the greatest satisfaction when I could share my knowledge knowing that I could be of great positive influence to the life of my students. I have learned to explain concepts in different ways that will enable students to understand more easily. With my practical experience I can also provide students with real life uses for concepts in mathematics, science and engineering drawings. Lastly I am currently 25 years old and therefore I still have memory of what influenced my high school career and what challenges are present in the lives of young adults. Therefore, I feel like I can relate to the students and teach in a dynamic way which is understandable from their point of view.

    I managed to achieve a 96% average for mathematics in Grade 12. I have also furthered my mathematics skills by studying mechanical engineering and therefore mathematics makes part of my professional life. I am able to explain real life applications of mathematics which is sometimes an element which is lacking in the school curriculum according to me.
