I spent last week in Cape Town meeting our new tutors, and spending time with Graz, our Cape Town manager. I was really impressed with the calibre of individuals who are now a part of our team. While very diverse in their interests, study direction, and backgrounds, they all share a common thread. That being their dedication towards their own education and understanding of the value that it can return.
Another big highlight for me was visiting boulder’s beach and seeing all of the African Pengins there. Southern Africa holds the entire population of this species, and has seen a drop of 90% in total numbers over the past 100 years. The municpal council has done a lot in building walkways to ensure people do not destroy the natural habitat that the birds so desperately need. I feel it is the right thing to do in ensuring education about the penguins, so that people can forever appreciate them in their natural habitat.
Meanwhile, Penguin Tutoring is already being of assistance to the youth of South Africa. Lessons are well underway in the major centres, and the long term benefits of a steady relationship between tutor and learner are soon going to start paying dividends. For those parents unsure of whether to start sooner or later, even consider having one hour a week of tutoring from now on, and build on that as the exams grow closer. A learner’s self assurance and own confidence will help boost their marks to what you know they are capable of.
Until next time…
