Information About Craig - Bellville tutor

Personal Description:

I have been teaching Economics since 1994 and I also taught Mathematics while working in London. I love to travel - since 1993 I have traveled to 22 countries (in some cases, numerous times). I am interested in a wide variety of subjects and read the news daily. Consequently, I have a broad general knowledge. When not engaged with Economics I am involved in managing school rugby and cricket teams, I walk my dogs, and play golf.

Tutoring Experience:

Since 2014 I have been teaching Economics (Gr10-12) at one of South Africa's leading private schools and typically have a 100% pass rate. Previously I taught Economics at Varsity College Cape Town on the IMM and UNISA degree programmes. I have in-depth knowledge of the UNISA 1st and 2nd year microeconomics and macroeconomics modules. Extensive subject knowledge and a proven ability to teach Economics well resulted in my being awarded the prestigious Independent Institute of Education (IIE) Dr Charles Freysen Teaching Excellence Award in 2012.

Tutoring Approach:

I have developed techniques to quickly ascertain the learner/student's difficulties with the subject matter and I am then able to effectively explain the content using online platforms such **E-mail Address Removed**Meet and Jamboard. I firmly believe that assessment drives learning and I have a large stock of questions (and solutions) that can be used to determine progress. I know how frustrating it can be to struggle with a subject and for this reason, my approach is sympathetic and geared towards building the individual's confidence. I have many years of experience to draw on and know how to make the subject matter interesting and engaging - and enjoyable!
