Elizabeth Josepha D - Tutor in Villieria
Hi , my name is Betsie (short for Elizabeth - so some students call me Miss Elizabeth). After working as an accountant and financial manager for more than 20 years I took a sabbatical to look after my niece and discovered that I loved working with children! I joined Gutsy Tutoring (now Turtlejar) as a tutor in 2017 and have tutored children and adults in a wide variety of subjects. I believe that people have different learning styles and preferences and try to take this into account when working with students. It is a great privilege to assist others on their learning journey and it would be my pleasure to join you or your child.

Financial Accounting
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2001 and have many years of practical business experience. When tutoring financial accounting I prefer to teach introductory accounting modules. This includes school level accounting but also accounting for non-financial managers, ICB bookkeeping students and first year university and university of technology students. I am able to take a student from "these debits and credits don't make any sense" to having a good grasp of basic accounting concepts in a few lessons. Accounting is a "learn by doing" subject and my aim is to get you to a point where you can go forward with confidence.
