Simphiwe Z - Tutor in Eco-Park Estate

I'm currently working as a Civil Engineer at an engineering consulting firm in Sandton. I'm passionate about God and about people. Been tutoring from high school (Hoerskool Sarel Cilliers) and university (University of Pretoria). From my experience I've learnt that academic success is not so much about knowing but understanding. Your state of mind is the key. You cannot expect to do well if you don't have that expectation. I believe clearly defined goals and expectations play a huge role in academic success.

Subjects taught
  • Math

    I have tutored maths throughout my whole high school and partially in university. I have learnt to simplify learning of mathematics for anyone to understand through breaking down everything down to the fundamentals and then building your understanding one step at a time.

    Simphiwe teaches Math at High School, Primary School, University/College, and Adult level(s)
