List Of Lessons
Dr. Smith: A gentle, devoted, inspiring teacher, one who specialises in her students achieving excellence.
My experience at Extra Time Tutoring has been worth it for the 3 years that I have enrolled. Dr. Smith has always maintained a high level of professionalism and she was always easy to approach in or out of the classroom. There was always an atmosphere of respect between her and her students and the environment was always kept and conditioned for learning. Dr. Smith has made me achieve my full potential and the grades speak for themselves.
"Finding ExtraTime was like stumbling upon a pot of gold." The lessons helped me build a complete understanding of the syllabus as well helping me to answer past paper questions at the end of each module." Dr. Smith showed great care for my needs based on her analysis and knowledge of each topic —that’s the beauty of ExtraTime."
As a parent, working with Dr. Smith over three years was a blessing. I felt confident that my daughter would be successful. I observed the changes in my daughter as she became more confident, focused, disciplined and motivated. Dr. Smith also guided me in order to assist my child. She is respectful, a motivator and a true professional. Overhearing some of the online lectures being discussed during this pandemic I have learnt a lot.
All classes were extremely beneficial to my exam preparation. Not only was the information according to the CAPE syllabus but each topic was delivered in a manner that was easy to understand as well as retain. The learning platforms utilized also aided in the longterm retention of the information taught. The attitude of Dr. Smith at each class helped to keep me motivated throughout the two years of CAPE making my overall experience at extra time
