I wanted this space to feel like stepping into my world: a little adventurous, full of things to discover, and somewhere you can feel comfortable asking questions. Have a look around, follow a path, and get to know me. When you’re ready to tackle your next challenge, we can work through it together.
WELCOME
Hi, I’m Werries. Welcome to my little corner of the universe—a space where my love of maths, science, music, technology, and nature comes together. I’ve spent more than 15 years helping students work through those “I’ll never understand this” moments, and seeing something finally click is still my favourite part of teaching.

ABOUT ME
I’m a teacher, musician, gamer, and someone who usually has another project on the go. It might involve a maths problem, a piece of music, a camera, or figuring out how to get a server working. I enjoy understanding how things fit together—and sharing that understanding with someone else.
I’ve been teaching for more than 15 years. My own journey has taken me from engineering studies into musicology, and through years of teaching both music and academic subjects. Today, my focus is online Mathematics for Grades 4–12 and Physical Sciences for Grades 10–12, across CAPS and IEB.
What keeps me interested in teaching is the person on the other side of the lesson. Everyone brings a different history with a subject: gaps in understanding, exam pressure, curiosity, or the belief that they simply aren’t good at it. I like working out where things stopped making sense and building from there. Sometimes that means trying another explanation, drawing something out, or returning to a basic idea until it feels familiar. There’s room to ask questions, make mistakes, and try again.
Away from lessons, you’ll often find me exploring a game world, out for a run, taking photographs, tending my planted aquarium, or experimenting with technology. Music remains part of my life, too. These interests all find their way into this space—the greenery, the light, the science, and that feeling that another path might lead to something interesting.
I wanted this website to feel personal: somewhere you can get a sense of who you’ll be learning with. So take your time, explore a little, and make yourself at home. If we work together, we’ll start wherever you are and figure out the next step.

services and info
My lessons are built on consistency, discipline, transparency, and a whole lot of fun—but what I value most is the connection I build with my students and their families. Over the decades, families have trusted me to guide their children through their subjects, sometimes returning with each sibling as their turn comes along. Those lasting relationships mean a great deal to me. Whether we’re strengthening the basics in Maths or preparing for a Physical Sciences exam, I want students to feel comfortable asking questions, understand the work, and take responsibility for their progress. I also believe you should know exactly what to expect from me. Here you’ll find my rates and fees, lesson information, and the documents that explain how I work. Have a read through, and if anything is unclear, please ask—open communication is part of how we make this work together.

student library
This is my latest achievement, and something I’m incredibly proud of: a growing student library that brings together resources, explanations, and practice to support the work we do in lessons. I’m building it to become a game changer for my students—a place where they can revisit a difficult concept, find useful practice, and keep moving towards their goals. As I develop it further with the assistance of AI tools, my aim is to help each student spend less time feeling stuck and make progress faster.
At its heart, though, this is still a tool. Our lessons, our conversations, and the connection between us remain central to my teaching. I’ll continue to moderate every student’s question, check the guidance being given, and step in where something needs correcting or explaining differently. I see my role as both a guide and a gatekeeper, helping students find information they can trust and understand how to use it. I’m changing with the times while keeping the personal attention and responsibility that families have trusted me with for years.
