iTutor Grahamstown provides 1-on-1 highschool mathematics tutoring.
Apart from the 1-hour paid sessions I provide and ad-hock problem-solving support service via email or SMS or WhatsApp at no additional charge.
I perform a needs analysis on each student and then work with the student to attain his/her goals.
My associated enterprise, Passing Marks RSA provides a wide range of Topic Oriented Study notes, free to my registered students.

Your child will receive an Individual Needs Analysis and then receive appropriate Supplementary Tuition so that s/he can gain maximum benefit from his/her Grahamstown High School Education. This year my rate remains unchanged in 2015 due to my use of a motor scooter for transport resulting in dramatic savings in fuel costs. The primary objective of the regular teacher is to present material for the students to learn. The Tutor deals with a student's comprehension and problem-solving failures. For each new item to be taught we may consider three aspects; the key elements to be understood, exercises to commit the material to memory and then extension wherein the newly learned skills are applied to existing problems as well as to new and often interesting problems. Students in the lower sets will receive more emphasis on the key-elements and exercise: U pper set students spend more time in extension with stimulating problems solving. The results of previous medica l and psychological assessments and treatments are useful here. Those of us with only average abilities easily fall prey to anxiety and stress in assessment (test and exam) situations and fail to give of our best. We are not all possessed of instant and perfect memory recall. A technique for stimulating memory's own recall mechanism is helpful here. Students prefer a 'method' or formul a which they can apply over an 'idea' which they must implement themselves. Many of my students, once they have learned to deal with stress and have achieved some success in mathematics, become interested in unusual and challenging problems such as the Lune of Hippocrates in Grade 8 (show that the area of the Lune is equal to the area of triangle AOB). Cooperation and consultation between regular teaching staff and tutors can be most productive. Grahamstown's private secondary s ch ools and the top government (public) secondary schools do a generally fine job of preparing your daughter or son for tertiary education. The other schools do their best under difficult circumstances and deserve our assistance if our country is to realise its potential. However, if you feel that your child is being well schooled and is still not realising their academic potential, you may require the help of a tutor. The final paragraph of the preceding section speaks of the failure -cycle and the need for intervention. The intervention may at some stage, take the form of medical diagnosis and treatment and psychotherapy. In the case of engagement at the start of term, core skills are the minimum set of skills acquired ( hopefully ) in the preceding term which are required to tackle the work in the forthcoming term. Core Skills: For example, a student entering Grade 8 is expected to be numerate. Later Engagement: It frequently happens that a student does well at school and then suddenly in a new term his/her marks start to drop. When calculators have the capability shown at the right this is not surprising: -( When new material requires that calculators are NOT used things can suddenly go very wrong. This can be solved using Pythagoras' Theorem and that does require a calculator.
