Information About Khanya - Bethelsdorp tutor

Personal Description:

This is Khanya, 24 years old from Port Elizabeth. I'm currently a student studying Bcom Accounting Science(Computer Science and Information Systems). When I'm not busy with school, you can find me reading my favourite book or tutoring Accounting.

Tutoring Experience:

I started tutoring in August 2021 for high school students in my community. In 2023 I worked for 2 tutoring companies specialising in Maths, English amd Accounting for all grades. This has continued on to 2024.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to Tutoring is to try to understand my student the best that I can, then to cater to their needs. My experience has taught me that each student is unique, and therefore not all methods will work for them.
Some students get bored easily and may already understand the basics but need help with the calculations. Others lack the very basics and due to this, believe they are a lost cause everytime they enter an Accounting class. I have experience with so many of them. As a tutor, my proudest moment was taking my student from a level 2 and 1 for the first half of the year to a level 7 in term 3. This was made possible because my student was a hard worker and because she lacked a lot of basics, it showed in her marks. After going over those basics, doing study guide activities together, going over past papers and most of all being consistent, she was able to perform exceptionally.

As a tutor, it's easy to spot knowledge gaps. Convincing the student that fixing what they don't know is the not so easy part. This is why I try and make my sessions as open and comfortable for them as I can by encouraging them to ask even the most basic questions.
