Personal Description:
Hi! My name is Ivor, and I have extensive experience in private tutoring online and in-person as well as classroom teaching across a wide variety of subjects including English, French and Music (University of Pretoria), Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Mathematics (University of Pretoria, University of the Witwatersrand, University of Wageningen) as well as a TEFL teaching qualification.
Currently I am working at Innovative Research Solutions in Stellenbosch, performing scientific research in the food tech sector.
Tutoring Experience:
I have been tutoring since 2014 in a variety of subjects, both online and in-person, with experience teaching students with learning difficulties such as ADHD as well as teaching a wide range of ages - from age 7 up to adult learners.
My primary subject expertise is in Chemistry, Biology, French, English, and Music but due to my diverse educational background, I can also teach Afrikaans, Mathematics, and History, as well as general academic and literacy skills.
I have taught a large number of private students in small groups or one-on-one, and have also run laboratory practicals and tutored chemistry at the University of the Witwatersrand. Most recently I have been a volunteer at Franschhoek High School, improving the literacy skills of Grade 2-4s.
Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring lies in developing a student's interest and desire to learn by showing how subject content is related to real-life applications and ensuring a firm grasp of the fundamentals. This allows students to further expand on and learn content by providing a strong foundation of understanding and interest.
Each child requires a different approach depending on their needs and I have found that providing a relaxed and engaging atmosphere where they feel comfortable discussing and asking questions on the subject matter is highly conducive to learning and capitalises on the student's natural curiousity. Each student's goals, interests and struggles are taken into account as I aim to address their individual psychological and educational needs to obtain the best value from our lessons together.
