History tutors in Pretoria

I’ve done my degree in education and further studies in Geography and History. I did all my studies in the subject and have a passion for History . I have experience teaching this subject and would like to help others to have the same positive attitude towards it.

I have a passion for history and I feel the most confident when teaching this subject during my teaching practicals. I have experience with teacher's textbooks so I have an understanding of how the subject is tested. I love finding fun activities and ways in order to teach this subject.

I love History as a subject because it is amazing how each topic can be linked but also I have a good grasp on History as a subject. I am able to conceptualise what is needed in an essay which is what history becomes when you are in Grade 10 and up and so that makes me a prime candidate. I attained two marks from my first year of University with an average of 67%.

I am completing my degree in early childhood development this year. This means that I am qualified to teach grades R-3 and I am equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills in order to teach up to grade 7 level.

I have a Bachelors degree in History and an interest in the subject. I am very familiar with many historical events including Apartheid history, the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Arab Spring, the fall of the USSR, WWI and WWII, the Vietnam War, the Korean War as well as Globalisation and African history

I am the best tutor for history because I have taken pure history at university level for 2 years. I have also taken methodologies on teaching history for 3 years. I must admit i was not the biggest fan on teaching history, but i developed methods on learning it and now i absolutely love history.

I am good in summarizing and memorizing work and feel that I will be able to teach students techniques to easier study the work.

I am also so fascinated by the history of the world and always get caught up in all the stories I read and learned about that it gets stuck in my head. History for me is all about date, time and place in witch I am importantly good at remembering and carrying over. Also it is important to get to know about our country's history as well as the worlds history and get the young minds involved in this from a young age.

History is like telling a story. I can teach the subject in a way that is not boring to students, rather it is dynamic and easy to understand, memorise and explain in a personal way. Each story requires a special way of learning and is also specific to different students’ study styles. I can accommodate for any kind of student.
