Brandon P - Tutor in Plattekloof 3
I believe in making learning an interesting and fun experience that is both suitably challenging and rewarding. One of my greatest qualities is being patient and understanding when a concept or idea is difficult to grasp. I enjoy teaching students how to approach problems with the fundamentals so that they feel capable of tackling problems themselves when outside the classroom. If you want to learn how to solve problems yourself and not learn to rely on help, then I'm the tutor for you! I also love learning and I don't think that people should stop learning irrespective of their age. I myself am in the process of learning how to speak Spanish better and I'm having a blast! Some of my other hobbies include playing guitar, working out, solving riddles, and trying out new things.

Experience
High School Physics Teacher
This job was very temporary as I was filling in for a teacher that was on leave. It was definitely challenging and interesting having to teach several different classes of students. It taught me about the importance of organizational skills and it showed me that being a teacher is a lot more than transferring information from the teacher to the student. It also entails forming a bond with students as well as understanding and appreciating their differences.
Online English Tutor
The day was filled with 45 minute lessons where I would teach English to Chinese and Taiwanese students. After each lesson, it was necessary to fill in a survey to evaluate each of the students and indicate areas where they could improve. Throughout the day and especially during breaks, the teachers would discuss some fun and interesting experiences we had with students. The most interesting part of the job was learning about the cultural differences between South Africa and China/Taiwan.
