Clemence M - Tutor in Cape Town

I am an Astrophysics student working on my MSc thesis based at the SKA in Pinelands, Cape Town. I completed my Honours in Astrophysics and Space Science at UCT and before that, I graduated with a BSc in Physical Science at UWC. I am passionate about STEM and computer literacy and believe that these are powerful tools which must be taken full advantage of in order to free our continent from its current economic predicament. Tutoring Approach: I believe that tutors (and teachers in general) should strive to provide students with problem-solving capabilities. Students should be able to understand and reproduce what they learn; the rationale behind each approach and the relevance of what they're learning in their lives as well as in society. A successful tutor produces students who are able to disseminate to their peers what they've learned and are able to use different tools to teach themselves and others. Mentoring is also an integral part of teaching in my experience. Bad teachers talk at students. Good teachers converse with and learn from their students. I enjoy playing chess, blogging and browsing quora.com in my free time.
