Mia B - Tutor in Kuils River

I am an energetic Gr 4-12 qualified teacher. Tutors were my saving grace in high school and I want to be that for you! I first studied my science degree in Biology, whilst doing my Psychology. Then I found my passion and pursued my career in teaching. I love blending my knowledge from science, psychology and education into my teaching of mathematics, life sciences and physical sciences. PS! I'm a pro at making summaries for you ;)

Subjects taught
  • Mathematics Literacy

    I studied a BSc in human physiology which gave me a base of university mathematics, which I further pursued into Gr.10-12 mathematical literacy teaching during my Postgraduate Certificate in Education. I am passionate about making mathematics as simple as possible for learners, summaries of theory concepts are definitely my strong point.

    I had computer and technology sciences in high school up until matric level where I received an A+. I have also completed a 1st year computer studies module at university level. Being a teacher at a private school, I have definitely used my Excel skills in formulas and graphs to my advantage.
