Hi, I’m Shariefa Daliath! I have completed a Bachelor of Education in the FET Phase, and I’ve been tutoring for the past 14 years. My journey in education has been driven by a deep passion for helping students grow in both confidence and academic ability. Over the years, I’ve worked with learners from various backgrounds, adapting my approach to suit each individual’s needs and learning style.
