Information About Mamazibuko Sheroy - Johannesburg tutor

Personal Description:

Im a very determined person when it comes to helping others grasp knowledge. Im very patient with people to acquire knowledge. In short, I'm very dedicated to the work I do. I'm known for being a detail-oriented, well-organized team player. I never miss deadlines, I'm a good communicator and I can juggle multiple tasks at once. In my performance reviews, my supervisor always notes that he appreciates my professionalism and enthusiasm for the job.

Tutoring Experience:

I don't have any teaching experience, but during studies and after school I used to give my classmates lessons about the subjects I excelled in.I used to help my siblings and my neighbors so I believe it also counts as experience, but I'm willing to get more experience.

Tutoring Approach:

I start with topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually toward more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check my understanding continually. I don't lecture students or ask them to memorize things. Nor do I do the student's homework for them! Well, in a few words: Targeted, efficient, bespoke, and relaxed.
A confident learner is a successful learner and that confidence is crucial. I will encourage, not humiliate (I will never, ever, belittle or make my clients feel small) and you can be confident that topics are pitched perfectly so my students can make speedy progress straight away. Do not underestimate the importance of pitch. Beginning Mathematics teachers make the fatal mistake of thinking that mathematics is easier than it is, or that their students can grasp ideas that they can’t. There is no shortcut to knowing how to pitch a mathematics lesson. I teach lessons that are truly tailor-made to my student. The way I teach will be informed by them and their ability, the way I structure my questions, and the way I might even ask the questions, are all driven by that ability, and where they are in their development of mathematical thinking. Exam rubrics (what the exam boards want to see and how they want to see it) will feature heavily and weaknesses will be consolidated over time. Because I have been an examiner for certain mathematics exams, I know how the papers are marked, and how best to structure answers (or not, as the case may be) so full marks can be gained.
