TutorTurtlejar Tutoring
- Midrand, South AfricaPart Time
I tutored primary-school and high-school level students in Maths and English on a one-to-one basis. I created and adapted lesson plans for specific student needs, using problem solving and creative thinking skills to keep students interested and focused. My ability to problem solve for different learning difficulties created results in the children's ability to understand their work.
