My name is Dina Kladis and I have been teaching Mathematics in South Africa for 25 years. Over the years, I have taught students from Year 9-13. I have also taught Physical Education, Mathematical Literacy, Computer Applications Technology, as well as Further Studies Mathematics.
I started teaching as I wanted to make a difference in young people’s lives. I have always believed that my love, passion, and enthusiasm for mathematics would transfer to my students. I would like to develop each student’s self-confidence and self-belief and help them find joy and satisfaction in being able to answer a variety of questions. I am patient and understanding and will always try to find the best way to help my students understand a concept or topic.

“Fionntan enjoyed the lesson as much as he can when it comes to Maths! But more importantly he enjoyed the way Dina taught, so we would like to go ahead with a further 6 week block.’ Claire M Jan 24
‘Beau really enjoyed her tutor session with Dina. She felt very comfortable with her style of teaching and would be happy to complete further classes with her.’ Jan 24 Justine V
‘Karyn has started year 8 very well, she went back to school on Monday. Karyn enjoyed her sessions with Dina. She looked forward to her Wednesday’s with Dina. Karyn loved the fact that Dina took her time to explain a topic and go through it with her many times as necessary until she got it and was comfortable to do it by herself. She loved that she would get homework from Dina which had to be completed before every session with Dina which helped Karyn a lot too.
During her time with Dina she has become more confident in Maths and we are so very grateful.” Samantha C Sept 24
