  • School Tutoring

Natural Science

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC, IEB, Cambridge (A-levels), Australian Curriculum (HSC)

Natural Sciences is one of my teaching qualification majors. I enjoy teaching Natural Science as it is an essential subject to build a strong foundation in the development of scientific knowledge. I have a supportive and communicative style to help my students feel confident during lessons.

Afrikaans

Grade 1 - Grade 12 CAPS, IEB

I've been coaching Afrikaans for several years. It was my favourite subject in high school. My lessons are fun and collaborative, where my student and I work together supportively on the subject. I enjoy including home languages to contextualize and expand Afrikaans vocabulary.

Life Sciences (Biology)

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, IEB, Cambridge (A-levels), Australian Curriculum (HSC)

I have taught biology internationally for four+ years and have experience in various curricula and classroom teaching. As my major up to my teaching qualification, biology is my chief area of expertise. Whether you need content explained, an extra challenge, or something in between - I can help!

Homework

Grade 1 - Grade 12 IEB, NSC

I provide support and guidance, inspiring my students to use their own innovation. I teach my students invaluable scheduling skills and study techniques, ensuring homework is an effective learning tool.

Business Studies

Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSC, IEB

Business Studies is a complex subject that needs to be more than memorised - it also needs to be contextualised in depth, to create meaningful learning. As one of the majors for my teaching qualification, I have experience teaching this subject to classrooms.

Economic Management Science (EMS)

Grade 1 - Grade 9 NSC, IEB

EMS creates a foundation for the subjects to come in higher grades, and I would like to help students master these concepts to succeed in the future. My teaching style is collaborative and fun, where my students and I collaborate on the subject to bring EMS concepts to life and make them engaging.

Physical Science

Grade 1 - Grade 10 NSC, IEB, Australian Curriculum

I have experience teaching this subject internationally for the past four years. Physical Sciences is crammed full of absolute fundamental scientific principles, which can make or break a student's scientific future. I focus resolutely on these, ensuring the establishment of a solid foundation.

“About a month ago, my daughter Lea was not proactively attending the classes and was resisting stating that she didnt see any value. This feedback was raised to Tiffany to address and find alternatives to get a higher engagement from Lea. Since then, Lea has been willingly attending amd has changed her view and is positively attending each class on time. ”
