Bio
I'm a home-schooling mother, passionate about developing the love of learning in learners of all ages, incl postgraduates. I tutor a wide range of subjects but my heart lies with teaching mathematics.
I am extremely patient and have a way of explaining complex issues simply. I am able to use multiple methods (including hands-on) to explain mathematics so that it is understood and applied. I am able to link concepts and apply critical thinking across subjects and assist learners in thinking critically about their work and the work of others.

I am passionate about maths as a subject and helping learners to realise that 'anyone can do maths' as long as it has been explained in a way that they understand.
English
Grade 1 - Grade 7 NSC, IEBI home schooled my children (grade 2-7) in all subjects. Communication in English and the enjoyment of English is essential for all subject disciplines. It is essential for post graduate studies and research to articulate questions/aims/problems, results and solutions clearly.
