About Vivian
As I look back, I realize my passion for teaching began long before I stepped into a classroom as a professional educator. It all started in grade 9 when I noticed my classmates struggling with concepts I found straightforward. Without hesitation, I offered my help, and soon, I was tutoring my peers in subjects like math and science. This experience not only honed my understanding of the material but also instilled in me a sense of fulfillment that came from helping others grasp difficult ideas. When I transitioned to a Cambridge school for my IGCSEs, my love for teaching only grew stronger. Despite the challenging syllabus, I found myself assisting my classmates once again. What was remarkable was that, being in grade 10, I was able to help grade 12 students in CAPs, due to the syllabus advantage I had. I continued to offer my services freely, using online platforms to reach out to students in need.
As time went on, I began to realize the value of my expertise and started charging for my tutoring services. This marked the beginning of my journey as a tutor, and I was determined to make a positive impact on the students I worked with. In 2022, I took a gap year and landed a tutoring position at Ridgefield Academy, working with in the Bookshop. It was an incredible experience, especially when I saw students struggle and then thrive under my guidance. One of my most memorable achievements was helping students pass their AS Pure Maths final Cambridge exam. Some of them were significantly behind, but with focused effort, we were able to cover two years' worth of material in just two months. Witnessing their progress and confidence grow was truly rewarding.
Fast-forward to today, I'm in my final year at the University of the Free State, and I've been working as a tutor for MATM1534 and STSA1624 for the past two years. Reflecting on my journey, it's remarkable to think that I've been teaching students since I was in grade 9. Now, I'm not only tutoring university students but also have the responsibility of guiding homeschool candidates. My passion for teaching has only grown stronger over the years, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my students.
