Jeanette J - Tutor in Ballito

I have 38 years of teaching experience. I taught both in South Africa and in the UAE. I have a masters degree and a Diploma in Remedial Education. I am very patient with my students and try to make the lessons applicable to real life situations so that the lessons are meaningful. The last school that I taught at was Ashton International College in Ballito.(Virtual Department). I have taught both offline and online. I am highly skilled in online teaching and am experienced in numerous online platforms. I have used many different teaching strategies in my lessons. In the UAE I have used Differentiation to cater for the needs of all my students so that all students will benefit from my lessons. I have used manipulatives in mathematics so that students learn through a hands on experience. I have used the following curricula:- American curriculum, South African (CAPS), Cambridge and IEB curricula. I am passionate about teaching and experience a great joy when my students excel. My motto is that every child has the ability to learn. Failure resides in the incorrect teaching strategy.
