Kirsten P - Tutor in Meadowridge

I am an experienced tutor with a passion for education. I am friendly and can find a way to relate to and get through to anyone. I believe helping someone to understand a concept not only improves their academic ability but also boosts confidence and enjoyability of the subject. It is important to balance work with play, which is why I believe learning should be fun!

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics

    I love maths. I took pure maths and advanced programme (AP) maths until matric. I have been tutoring the subject for three years to all ages. I can definitely help with making it simple to understand and bridging foundational gaps.
