Economics tutors in Western Cape

I have a good understanding of the course and being able to teach first years and make them love economics. My research in the university covered wide areas in economics such as natural resources, sports, and energy.

I am a qualified and experienced teacher who completed a Bachelor of Business Science degree with Honours in Economics in 2001, and a Master of Business Science degree in Economics in 2006. My second major is in Psychology. I also hold a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) specialising in teaching Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, and Economics to Senior Phase and Further Education and Training students. I completed all 3 of my qualifications at UCT. My love of teaching began whilst I was at UCT. I was actively involved with the tutoring of undergraduate and postgraduate Economics students for over 6 years, and was the Head Tutor for the Honours Econometrics module for five years. I also assisted with the marking of tests, exams and projects. Having completed my Masters Degree, I worked as an Economist for a number of years doing academic research and also doing economics consulting work. However, the teaching profession was calling me and so I decided to take a break from the economics consulting work in order to register for a PGCE, which is the required qualification to become a teacher. During my teaching diploma I specialised in teaching Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, and Economics to high school learners. I received a distinction for both of my teaching practicals, and was rated within the top 5% of students by my supervisors. I have worked in both public and private schools, which means I have a thorough knowledge of the requirements for NSC, IEB and Cambridge AS and A-levels. I have always been a patient, caring and compassionate educator who takes a great interest in her learners' progress and in their mastery of the subject. My enthusiasm for teaching and my ability to explain difficult concepts translates into a deeper understanding of the topic by my learners, resulting in a greater sense of capability, more positive outlook and significantly improved grades in my learners. My greatest sense of achievement comes from helping learners who are struggling with a subject, building their confidence, understanding and technique in the subject, and then watching them excel. I have a particular gift for working with students who have learning disorders, especially dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADD/ADHD, as well as learners with developmental disorders, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Having said that, and knowing the importance of understanding a learner's diagnosis, I feel very strongly that a learner should not let these diagnoses define themselves. That only leads to a sense of despondency, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and prevents a learner from what they are truly capable of achieving.

Economics was my favourite subject at school, I achieved a distinction for this subject in Matric. I have a degree in business and my one of my focal areas was economics. I understand economics very well and I am able to explain concepts in a simple way that can be understood by anyone.

I have achieved a good academic record with distinction Economics and I am familiar with the following concepts : An Introduction to Microeconomics, A Closer Look at the Economic Problem of Scarcity, The Circular Flow of Income and Spending, Demand, Supply and Prices, Demand and Supply in Action, The Theory of Production and Cost, Perfect Competition and Imperfect Competition

I am currently enrolled in BCom (Management Sciences) where I have had to study economics on the university level. I have passed my economics module and would like to share the knowledge that I have acquired about the world of economics.

I have an interactive approach to teaching new concepts or methods to enhance the long-term memory. The best way to learn is to teach, therefore I will encourage discussions to enable a 3D learning approach

I have the ability to both think of systems on a macro and micro level, meaning that I'm good at both understanding and explaining economic concepts. I have been looking after myself financially for three years now, meaning I have real life experience and relevant examples to use during lessons.

I have always loved Economics as a subject in High School. In my personal experience I performed well by obtaining 94% in matric for Economics. I would love to share my own experience, knowledge and study habits to those who wish to find help. I will try my utmost best to find ways to explain the concepts in the most understandable, relevant way and help the student perform well in the subject.

Economics is a newly found passion of mine. It opened up a new and important part of the world for me that I never could fully grasp. I have completed first year macro and micro economics, achieving excellent marks for both and will be taking the subject further. Through the experience that I posses I am capable to aid any students and help them achieve more within the subject.

I believe that Economics is an incredibly interesting and dynamic field of study.I matriculated with a final mark of 92% for Economics. Furthermore, I completed two Economics modules at a tertiary level, with a cum laude pass for Microeconomics.
