I have taught grade 10, 11 and 12 Life sciences during my nearly 8 year teaching experience, therefore I have a holistic perspective on the learners academic journey in this subject. Kinesthetic learning is key to grasping challenging processes, therefore this will be an integral part of my lessons.

I have taught grade 8 and 9 Natural science in my 8 year teaching experience, and was the grade 8 school coordinator for 4 years. I understand the importance of developing academic vocabulary and foundational knowledge in the sciences, therefore this will be an integral part of my online lessons.

I enjoyed and excelled in Geography at school and I have had recent experience teaching this subject in a classroom setting. Many of the topics in Geography involve physical processes and being able to identify them in application questions.

I understand the pressures involved in this subject and have seen that a secure academic foundation in grade 10 is incredibly important for academic competency in grade 11 and 12.

Practice, practice, practice. This is so important in mathematical studies. Tutoring this subject I would model problem-solving first, then guide the learner into solving the problem themselves, then make them 'the teacher' by explaining and modelling the problem-solving skills taught back to me.
