Tutors in Johannesburg

Hi I love languages. I was born in Italy and moved to South Africa as a baby. At school and university I studied French and Italian. I also did a year in German and two semesters in Arabic. Thank you Aida

I am an honours graduate in Mathematics at the University of Johannesburg. I have 5 years tutoring experience at the department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Johannesburg. I am available to tutor any level of Mathematics.

I am a university lecturer who always want to empower herself through academic knowledge. I firmly believe that by sharing my expertise will empower others. As an educator I constantly upgrade my skills by learning new things and that is not necessarily by means of formal education. I have realized that there is so much to learn from people that we meet on day to day basis, environment around us, media, so on and so forth. The information that one comes across from all walks of life is outstanding.

MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY My primary teaching philosophy is constructivism and combines innovative educational approaches that are based on contemporary educational research in order to address the students’ needs without compromising the quality of education. I believe in a learner-centred, inquiry based learning approach that utilizes the twenty first century technologies to enhance learner development. I believe that students (have prior knowledge which must be accessed and assessed in order to identify misconceptions and the zone of proximal development on which new knowledge can be built. To this end I believe that strategies which seek to maximize learning, considering the multiple intelligences and learning styles, must be employed. These strategies must make use of the 21st century technologies such as multimedia in order to make learning meaningful and relevant. This also means learning must be centred in the learners’ context in order to ensure relevance. I believe that assessment drives learning, and consequently I employ continuous assessment approaches, with rigorous feedback in order to ensure continuous learning. To this end, I believe in the significance of both formative assessment and summative assessment. These include short quizzes, practical hands-on activities, short tests, oral and written exams. With regards to postgraduates therefore I am a proponent of not only written dissertations, but also oral presentations or defences. In addition, I believe that postgraduate students must at least be encouraged to publish from their projects. I also believe that an excellent teacher is one who:  shares a passion for teaching;  is clear, organized, accessible, supportive and compassionate;  is able to establish rapport; provide direction and feedback;  exhibits integrity and respect for others;  demonstrates content competence;  utilises planning and orienting strategies;  possesses a broad repertoire of teaching methods and scripts;  engages in self-evaluation and reflection;  draws upon multiple forms of knowledge, they target their teaching to the learners’ level of knowledge. My teaching philosophy is influenced primarily by scholars such as John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Stephen Abrahamson, Richard Mayer and Stephen Schiro.

I was a top achiever in matric(2018) in Sedibeng District 8, passed with 5 distinctions and 2 Bs. I am most powerful in Mathematics, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. I don't assume or guess but do my research when I don't understand things. I am willing to share my knowledge and in the process learn from fellow students. I am a great believer of positivity, gradual change and passion. Growing up I was not as powerful academically but with hardwork, passion for what I am doing and great support, the sky was the only limit. I am detail oriented, humble and patient.
