Dr Glenda N - Tutor in Doringkloof

I hold a doctorate in Mathematics, a post-graduate teaching diploma and I am SACE registered. I am a dedicated, passionate teacher. I have taught students who have achieved top results in South Africa and in the world for Cambridge and South African Mathematics courses. Our house is located close to the Centurion Gautrain Station with a bus stop a short distance away. Ubering from the station is affordable as well. I have 40 years of experience teaching Mathematics, Advanced Mathematics, Cambridge Courses, and University Courses. I run an accredited Cambridge study centre where I teach these courses on a regular basis. I am experienced in providing tutoring online with advanced sound facilities. I mark assignments and examinations for University and Cambridge Courses. I am comfortable tutoring in person or online. I begin tutoring from basics and cover topics thoroughly by passing through various learning levels. With my experience, I am able to uncover students' barriers to understanding and am able to find unique personalised ways of explaining complicated concepts. I provide plenty of practice, reinforcement, and enrichment related to the topics being covered.
