Information About Dieumie - Midrand tutor

Personal Description:

I am a dedicated and compassionate tutor with a strong academic background and practical experience in supporting learners of diverse needs and abilities. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, I bring a unique interdisciplinary approach to my teaching, drawing from psychology, sociology, biology, and nutrition to create lessons that are both engaging and relevant to real-life situations. My bilingual proficiency in English and French allows me to connect effectively with students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Beyond my academic pursuits, I am deeply committed to helping learners overcome challenges, develop confidence, and reach their full potential through patience, structure, and creativity.

Tutoring Experience:

I have extensive experience tutoring learners of different age groups, including those with special educational needs. In one role, I worked closely with a teenager with mental disabilities, focusing on improving motor skills, reading, phonics, math, and following instructions. Over six months, my student advanced from being unable to read to confidently reading short words and demonstrating noticeable progress in speech and coordination. I currently tutor through several organizations, including Teach Me Private Tutors, Tutors @ Your Service, Tutaville, and Brightsparks, where I also serve as a concessions facilitator. Across these roles, I have worked with learners from primary to high school levels, tailoring lessons to individual strengths and goals while ensuring measurable improvement. I work with students of varying ages from 5 to 16 years of age in all their school related subjects.

Tutoring Approach:

My tutoring approach is highly personalized and student-centered. I begin by assessing each learner’s abilities, learning style, and specific challenges, then design targeted strategies to address their unique needs. I incorporate visual, auditory, and hands-on methods to ensure concepts are understood and retained. Patience and encouragement are central to my teaching, creating a safe space where students feel comfortable to make mistakes and grow. I also integrate elements from my health science studies—such as strategies for concentration, memory improvement, and stress management—to enhance academic performance. For students with special needs, I adapt my pace and methods, focusing on small, achievable milestones that build confidence and motivation.
