Bio
Hi! My name is Gv. I became a tutor because I love helping children achieve their maximum potential academically. I have been coaching and tutoring for the last 6 years and I love what I do.
I have been working with children since I finished school. First, I joined a tutoring company as a form of extra income but I soon realised that I was enjoying it much more than any other ordinary student job. I also started coaching 4 years ago and I love every second of sharing knowledge and getting children as inspired as I am about performing well academically.

Achievements
• I have helped a young man from an average of 38% in the beginning of the year to an average of 80% at the end. Some of the kids I have coached in the past are now playing IPT's or for their first teams at their universities. I went to China last year to teach English.
Subjects

Life Sciences (Biology)
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCBiology has always been a passion of mine, since high school and through all my years of studying it was always a subject that I loved. Understanding how nature works and seeing the balance of it all makes you appreciate it more.
Physical Science
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCPhysical Sciences is one of the most exciting subjects I've ever had the pleasure to study. Understanding the inner workings of physics and chemistry makes you feel like a genius, and I love helping students feel like geniuses.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCEnglish is the international language for business and I truly believe it is the language of the future. I would like to help students understand the usefulness of English as a language and the importance of it in the world around us.
Afrikaans
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCAlthough Afrikaans to me is one of the most beautiful languages, it is being used less and less. I would like to reignite the passion in learners for Afrikaans to ensure that it won't be forgotten in the generations to come.

“We are very happy with GV's way of tutoring. However I feel that GV can be a bit more strict towards Krisha. Sometimes she get too accustom to GV, and does not take him seriously. ”- Jyoti
