Hello. My name is Mike Montgomery. My teaching experience goes back more than 50 years. As a school student in what is now called Grade 9, I taught mathematics to Grade 11 students as well as to students in my own grade. While a student at the University of the Witwatersrand, I ran mathematics classes for all grades from my home. This was a free service to the community. Throughout my professional career I continued to teach mathematics privately.
Industries. After graduating in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, I have had a successful international career as a mathematician and software developer in the following industries:
- Gold mining and metallurgy.
- Banking, insurance and finance.
- Telecommunications.
After retiring from the corporate world, I have also taught at schools and privately.
International experience. I have taught mathematics and other topics in these countries:
- South Africa.
- Malaysia.
- Singapore.
- China.
- Uganda.
Since the start of the COVID19 pandemic I have been teaching on-line to local and international students.
Topics. Topics I have taught include:
- Mathematics.
- English.
- Physics.
- Data analysis.
- Database design.
- Computer programming.
- Software design and development.

I have also been responsible for developing training courses. In addition, I have trained clients on the use of large software systems that I developed.
Students. My students have included:
- Very young children (kindergarten).
