Claudine G - Tutor in Muizenberg

Everything I said about Mathematics applies. Here however the key is to experiment practically yourself and prove facts to yourself about the world as it is. My classroom experience of teaching Natural and Physical Science supplies me with the necessary experiments. Another key area is connecting what you have learnt practically to the scientifically correct way to write up things, balance chemical equations and use the correct units. The relationship to the real life experiment must be used as a foundation to build these skills.

I am the best teacher for this for all the reasons listed under Mathematics but also because I believe it should be practical Mathematics rather than Mathematical Literacy and try to take away the language barrier it is often couched in. I try to make the work as real to the learner's own life as possible and make the calculations relevant and easy to follow. I do not just give recipes that the learners must follow and remember they have to understand what they are doing.

I am the best tutor for this subject since I have a wide range of experience with it and have taught many, many people of all ages. Since I have experienced the curriculum from foundation phase through to varsity I can always fill in the crucial missing steps you may have or revise a part you may have forgotten. I also have a Masters in Mathematics Education and have done a course called Mathematics with wings which give me the theoretical techniques, psychological and philosophical ways to approach a problem with the learning, understanding or learning material. They also enable me to create extra practice examples unique to you the learner and your real life circumstances.

The last five years I have had significant success teaching children Afrikaans by doing a nice story, translating it into English, answering questions on the story in Afrikaans, even rewriting it in your own words, then doing grammar exercises based on the story. This works very well with second and third language speakers who have an attitude towards the subject. I always try and use stories related to topics the children may be interested in and then build the language and exercises from that.

I love watching people learn how to read. How a whole new world suddenly opens for them is extremely exciting. For the past five years I have taught Intervention in a primary school. A great deal of this is based on teaching learners to read and phonics. I feel that I have had success in this area because the learners enjoy the stories and puzzles we do. I have a wealth of materials I have created around this area. Consistent practice is obviously key.

Claudine teaches Reading at Primary School and Adult level(s)

Everything I said about reading applies here. I also enjoy teaching the rules of language and doing grammatical exercises till concepts are mastered and retained. I personally love English Literature which has a wealth to choose from. Having been an avid reader myself and worked in libraries I know lots of books and can apply my knowledge to the learner's interests. The language gets built out of the literature. We follow whatever story with grammatical exercises based on it and can even do things like write letters, do book reviews etc. from a single passage.
