James V
Tutor in Mowbray, Cape Town • 23 years old
Bio
I am a UCT student studying Actuarial Science. I have a passion for teaching and helping others and want to use both of these to tutor students. I pride myself on my work ethic and time management.
I put myself in a learner's shoes and try to understand how they learn to make sure even the trickiest of concepts are easily understandable. I really enjoy helping students to understand their work and achieve their goals. I struggled with school before getting a tutor so I know how it feels to be in a position of needing help and I use that to teach in a way they will respond to.

Subjects
- School Tutoring
Mathematics
I have helped family and peers with maths since it was as simple as times tables to as complex as university calculus and I quickly judge how a learner learns and use that to deliver content in a way that will make sense to them
Accounting
Accounting is another subject I have always enjoyed and excelled at teaching people. I understand the principles of accounting very well and so by making use of that and great teaching skills I can deliver content in an interesting and easy manner.
Physics
I have a strong love of physics to the point of almost studying mechatronics at university. It is a subject I have always been able to understand with relative ease and I can relay physical concepts in a manner students can understand
