Philisiwe S - Tutor in Hatfield
I am a huge fan of pink so I am sure that my students will immediately assume that I have come for a short play session when they see my stationery. I am a firm believer that there needs to be a balance between working and playing hard. Both are imperative for our growth and development. I hope to make each of my students understand that studying can be made fun especially if it can be applied into the real world. When I was a high school scholar my mother worked on a reward based system and I have seen it work so that is what I intend to use.

Subjects taught
-
Pure Maths
I have been getting straight A’s for the subject since grade 9. I also took advanced and applied mathematics which I also passed in my matric year. I am well aware that Mathematics does not come naturally for some people but I have some techniques for studying and examination periods which students can use to excel in the subject.

Economics
I did Economics for both semesters in my first year and obtained a distinction for both semesters. I am the perfect proof that with good class attendance and continuous review of the day’s work, one can go far within the subject. I enjoy the complexities of the subject and how it is easily integrated in all aspects of life. Especially in a country like ours. There is Economics in anything and everything.

Business Studies
I obtained a distinction for this module in my first year. My study and exam techniques got me through the year even with minimal resources from the lecturers. I am patient with explaining the key concepts and tools needed for one to give their best during test, assignments and exams.
