Tutors in South Africa

I am a Credit Analyst and I work for a micro-finance institution. I currently hold qualifications in Financial Mathematics and Actuarial Science and I am very passionate about Maths and Statistics. I was a Mathematics and Statistics tutor at university for 3 years before joining the Corporate world. Working will people and imparting my knowledge to them has always been one of my biggest passions.

I have a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Cape Town and have many years of experience in tutoring and mentoring students with their studies.

Being in the academic industry for a long time, I am good to tell the kind of the approach the learner needs, based on few questions during the introduction

Currently teaching at a Private high school in Alberton. Specialised subjects include Life Sciences grade 10-12 and Natural Science grade 8 - 9. I previously taught Afrikaans to High School students, therefore offer this as one of the subjects I tutor in. I have experience in teaching remedial students as well and dealing with students who suffer from anxiety, low self-esteem and learning problems

My name is Mariam Diallo. I matriculated from Jeppe High School for Girls in 2015 with distinctions in English, Afrikaans, Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Science, History, Life Orientation and Consumer Studies. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Wits University.

I obtained a BCom Accounting degree from UKZN in 2017 and I am currently progressing toward a CA(SA) designation. I am a detail oriented person with excellent organisational skills and I consider myself to be versatile. My personality is such that I am able to remain calm and objective in difficult situations. Since 2014, these qualities helped me to balance my studies with working as a tutor to primary, secondary and tertiary level students. Above all else, I would say that the most important thing to know about me is that I am committed to life-long learning. My ultimate goal is to develop a multi-disciplinary knowledge base and for this reason, I am usually found with my head buried in a book. One of my core beliefs is that intelligence is not fixed - it is something that can be developed over time with enthusiasm, dedication and effort. I believe that anything that is worthwhile will usually require hard work to obtain, but that the work is worth doing.

I was born and grew up on a wheat farm in the Western Cape. I was at boarding school in Cape Town and did my B.A. at Stellenbosch University majoring in English and French. I then spent 4 years in the Netherlands working in Amsterdam and The Hague. On my return to South Africa, did an extra major at Wits, got married, had 2 children. After my divorce, I studied again obtaining my teaching diploma and honours degree in educational psychology. I have worked locally as a teacher and, since I qualified in 1997, as a remedial therapist in part time private practice. In South Africa I have worked with students from other countries in Africa and the Middle East. I have also taught English as a foreign language (TEFL) for 7 years in Taipei, Taiwan to scholars, students and business people. Since my return to South Africa in 2009 I have worked at schools and privately in educational support which not only includes homework and school work but general and specific study skills and improving students’ learning confidence and organizational abilities. Generally one may say that I ‘mentor’ – especially students from Grade 3 to Grade 7 with the aim of getting them ready and confident enough to deal with High School and life thereafter!I

Strongest personality traits: * I believe in doing things excellently and to the best of my competency and therefore strive to deliver results in a form as close to perfection as I can achieve, learn from my failures and never fail to learn. * I love love and loving. It is the life that shushes a fearful mind and awakens the ears of a dying heart to true beauty. It continues to mould me in patience, kindness, trustworthiness, understanding and persistence. * I know and respect my boundaries and as such, will not shy away from asserting myself where necessary. Flexibility, adaptability, malleability and complacency are not one in the same.
