Hello, my name is Heather and I am 22 years old. I am currently in my fourth year at Varsity College and I am studying Intermediate Phase Education (Gr 4-7). I have a good grasp of grade four to seven subjects, good knowledge and understanding of learning tools and styles that can suit your child. I do have a car and a valid license so I am able to drive to your house. I am really enthusiastic to help your children understand their schoolwork better. I love to find different activities and fun ways to teach the subjects and help the learner, Timewise I am fine to help in the afternoons as I have classes in the morning until 12:30.
