There are few things as rewarding as getting great feedback from our parents and tutors about the day to day happenings of how the learners are benefitting. We do our best to keep our clients’ comments up to date on our Comment Page, but I have two good stories to share today.
Megan Reeves is one of our Class Act tutors, having tutored over 300 hours with us, since joining the team two and a half years ago.
She recently gave us feedback on her experiences working as a tutor:
“My name is Megan. I have been working for the Penguin Tutoring Company for over two years. I love my job and I am passionate about the subjects that I tutor. In the one-on-one lessons that I have with my learners I am able to develop a close relationship with them. This close relatioinship allows for me to better recognise the pupil’s strengths and weaknesses, and so I am able to devise a teaching method best suited to their needs. I am a twenty year old student and my youth allows for me to better relate to my learners. It was a short time ago that I was in school and facing difficulties similar to theirs. Therefore I can understand the difference a tutor can make in one’s life. Sometimes all a learner needs to help them improve their marks is for someone to take the time to explain their school work to them at a level that they can understand and to re-instill their sense of confidence that is often lacking due to poor results. In my work I strive to be that “someone” for my learners.”
Megan, as well as our extensive team of tutors are willing to help make a difference in your life. If you’re a parent, feel free to contact us, or if you’re a student, and think you can add value to a school learner’s academic experience, sign up today.
Penguin Tutoring strives to provide personalised tutoring and mentorship. We hand-pick and match a tutor to the exact needs of the family we are assisting. In a South Africa with such a diverse range of cultures, religions, and opinions, we are faced daily with such challenges. However, in our search for the enhancement of education, sometimes unorthodox measures need be put in place. So, we salute our tutors who have bridged cultural and racial divides, and found commonality in learning and education.
