Janey v - Tutor in Worcester Central
I have a BA Counselling degree and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education. I have worked with learners from Grade 000 to Grade 8. I have a passion for helping children to reach their full potential. I especially enjoy helping those with learning difficulties, because I believe every learner has the right to the best possible education, regardless of their abilities. I never say no to a challenge and I help my learners with their own challenges. I make learning interesting and fun so that learners WANT to learn.

Math
So many people dislike and fear Math. I like to show learners that Math is nothing to be afraid of, and help them to develop confidence and even a liking for it. I like to make Math enjoyable for learners, so they are learning even while having fun. I ensure that the foundations are laid and I will not progress to more advanced concepts until the learner is absolutely ready.

History
Many learners think History is boring and unnecessary. I like to teach them that that is not the case; it can be very interesting and enlightening. Not only do we learn about things that happened in the past, but we use this knowledge to help us understand what is happening in the world around us now, and to prepare for the future.. I make History interesting and enjoyable so that learners want to learn it.

English Language and Literature
I love the English language and I love teaching it. I enjoy helping learners to master language skills and teaching them to read fluently and gain comprehension skills. Writing is a very important skill, whether creative or formal, and I enjoy helping learners to master successful writing skills.
