Samantha P - Tutor in Zwartkop

I am a student at the North-West University Potchefstroom. I matriculated in 2016 with 8 distinctions and an average mark of 90%. I have completed my Bachelor's degree in 2019 with distinction, majoring in Chemistry, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. I am currently studying to obtain my Postgraduate certificate in Education. I became a member of the Golden Key Honour Society in 2018. Teaching and Tutoring is my passion. I love to help students find their own "perfect way of learning". I have a broad foundation of subject knowledge due to my BSc., but also have experience in teaching and the Curriculum, due to my Educational studies. I have experience in tutoring, for the NWU, as well as high-school students. It would be my absolute honour to be able to help and inspire students to move from struggling to overcoming.

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    In 2016, I matriculated with a Mathematics average of 93%. In 2019, I completed my BSc. degree with distinction, majoring in Chemistry, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. I am currently busy with my Educational studies. I have an extreme passion for Mathematics. My Maths subject knowledge stretches from school, to three years of higher Mathematics in university. Mathematics should not be memorized, it should be understood. Through my years of studying, as well as experience in tutoring, I have mastered the ability to use YOUR OWN way of learning to grasp mathematical concepts. I have a broad foundation of subject knowledge, and I am busy obtaining knowledge of Educational methods, as well as curriculum studies. I won't teach you my way of thinking and solving problems, I will use your way and build on that. My ultimate goal is to make you the best version of you that you can do. Everybody has the ability, we just need to find and cultivate it.

  • Science

    In 2016, I matriculated with a Science average of 89%. In 2019, I completed my BSc. degree with distinction, majoring in Chemistry, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. I am currently busy with my Educational studies. My subject knowledge stretches from school, through to university. I went on with Physics 'till the end of my second year in university and Chemistry 'till my third year. I have an absolute passion for Science and I would like to pass on that passion. There is such a beauty written in the laws of nature, and once you've come to know that beauty, the passion for the subject will increase. I want to help you to find your passion and use that to better yourself in the subject. A lot of you have a dislike in science. You think it is because you don't have the ability to understand it, when in fact, you have full capabilities to do so. You just need to find yourself in the subject and it will all become clear. I can help you with that. I can turn your fear of the subject into overcoming the subject. I have experience in tutoring high school students in Science. I also have knowledge of the School Curriculum, so I know what is expected of students.
