Hello! I’m Tehan du Plessis, an online tutor with a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree, specializing in Intermediate Phase Education. I tutor students in Grades 4 to 7 in subjects like Life Skills, Science, Social Sciences, and Technology. With hands-on experience as a Teacher's Assistant, I’ve assisted with Life Skills lessons for Grade 6 and 7 and have also helped present lessons across various subjects for Grades 4 to 6. I am passionate about creating a positive, supportive learning environment where students feel confident, engaged, and motivated to achieve their academic goals. My approach is student-centered and focused on adapting to each learner's unique needs. I use a variety of interactive and hands-on teaching methods that help keep students engaged and ensure they truly understand the material. I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and I incorporate strategies like active learning where students participate, ask questions, and engage in discussions, visual aids, games, and real-life examples to make concepts easier to grasp and more interesting, and practical exercises to reinforce learning and help students apply concepts beyond the classroom. I also focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, teaching students how to approach challenges with confidence and creativity. Regular feedback and progress tracking allow us to celebrate small victories and work on areas that need improvement. My goal is to help students achieve measurable improvement, both academically and personally. I work with each student to identify clear goals, track their progress, and adjust our lessons to ensure continuous growth. I don’t just focus on better grades—I aim to build a strong foundation of knowledge that helps students succeed long-term. Study skills and time management are key components of my teaching, and I help students develop the tools they need to become independent learners. By creating a supportive environment, I help students gain confidence in their abilities and become more motivated to succeed. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for teaching and my commitment to each student’s success. I bring patience and empathy to every lesson, ensuring I meet each student where they are. I am adaptable in my approach, customizing lessons to suit the individual needs, learning styles, and pace of each student. I break down complex ideas into simple, manageable parts, ensuring students understand each concept before moving on, and I celebrate every small achievement to keep students motivated. Beyond academics, I focus on developing essential life skills such as self-discipline, time management, and problem-solving that will serve students throughout their education and beyond. With a Bachelor of Education (BEd) degree and practical experience working with students, I bring both knowledge and expertise to every lesson. I personalize every lesson to fit each student's needs and learning styles, ensuring that they get the most out of our time together. I am dedicated to helping students grow academically, build their confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning. My engaging teaching style has helped students achieve their academic goals, improve their understanding of key subjects, and become more confident in their abilities. Let’s start your learning journey today! Whether you need help with Life Skills, Science, Technology, or Social Sciences, I’m here to help you reach your goals and develop the skills you need to succeed.
