About Salma
My name is Salma Jordaan and I am currently completing my Honours in Civil Engineering. Maths has always played a big role in my studies and over time I have realised that I really enjoy helping learners understand concepts that they initially find difficult.
I am naturally patient person and like breaking problems down into smaller, simpler steps rather than making Maths feel more complicated than it needs to be. I also enjoy figuring out exactly where a learner has gone wrong and helping them understand the reasoning behind the correct method, so that they can approach similar questions more confidently on their own.
My engineering background has strengthened my problem-solving and analytical skills, which I bring into my lessons, while still keeping explanations practical and easy to follow. I understand that every learner works differently, so I am happy to explain something more than once or approach it in a different way until it makes sense.
Outside of my studies, I really enjoy sport and staying active. I believe progress in Maths is much like any other skill: with the right guidance, consistent practice and patience, it becomes much more manageable.

My approach to tutoring is patient, practical and learner-centred. I first try to understand exactly where a learner is struggling, because sometimes the problem is not the whole topic but one small gap that is making everything else confusing. I explain concepts in simple steps, work through examples with the learner and then give them similar questions to try on their own. I also focus a lot on mistakes, where marks were lost, why an answer went wrong and how to recognise the correct approach next time.
A typical lesson includes a short explanation of the concept, guided examples, independent practice and exam-style questions where appropriate. I adapt the pace and way I explain things depending on the learner, rather than using the same method for everyone.
I teach Mathematics in English and mainly work with high-school learners following the CAPS or IEB curriculum, whether they need help catching up, understanding difficult topics, preparing for tests and exams or simply getting more comfortable with problem-solving.

Salma is tutoring my grade 12 son in maths. She’s a truly excellent tutor. She is patient and encouraging and explains concepts in a way that makes learning easier for him.
