My name is Werner Vermeulen, and I am originally from South Africa. I studied at the University of Stellenbosch, where my main subjects were Mathematics and Science. I am married to a wonderful wife and am a proud father of four children.
I have 17 years of teaching experience in total. I taught in South Africa for 8 years before moving to the UAE, where I have been teaching for the past 9 years. During this time, I have worked mainly as a homeroom teacher for Grades 4, 5, and 6, teaching core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science.
I am passionate about teaching and enjoy helping learners build confidence in their abilities. My teaching style is clear, structured, and supportive. I keep lessons simple and focused, breaking down difficult concepts into small, manageable steps so learners do not feel overwhelmed. I believe that strong foundations lead to good long-term results.
When tutoring, I use skills such as:
• Explaining concepts in simple, child-friendly language
• Using examples and visuals to support understanding
• Checking for understanding regularly
• Giving encouragement and positive feedback
• Adjusting lessons to suit each learner’s level and pace
I have experience supporting students who need extra help in English (reading, writing, grammar), Mathematics, and Science. I focus on helping learners feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing padel and golf. I am patient, reliable, and enthusiastic, and I always aim to help learners grow both academically and personally.
I look forward to working with students who need support and parents who want their children to feel confident, motivated, and successful in their learning.
Bachelor’s degree from the University of Stellenbosch with a focus on Mathematics and Science. 17 years of teaching experience, including 8 years in South Africa and 9 years in the UAE. Extensive experience as a homeroom teacher for Grades 4–6, teaching English, Mathematics, and Science
