IEB Information Technology Tutor (Matric / Grade 12) South Africa
Do you need help with IEB IT sylabus for your Matric year?
Steve Eilertsen is the sole owner and author of java-teacher.com. The website first went live in 2018 and is still regularly maintained with new content.
“I am a veteran computer owner, my first being in 1982 which boasted the 8088 chip, 360Kb RAM and 2 floppy drives running on DOS 3.1! I am also a veteran IT teacher, having taught at several top Johannesburg schools, both government and private. Currently I teach IT to grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 at Curro Heronbridge College.“
“This is my give-back strategy for IT learners who are passionate and gifted but do not have access to a suitable teacher.”
Steve also offers private online tuition to a limited number of learners covering Java, SQL, database design and IT theory. He specializes in high-intensity, catch-up tuition for learners starting the subject late or to those chasing a specific grade on their final matric certificate.

Lessons are then booked with the student on MS Teams. Most lessons are 1 hour sessions with occassional take away worksheets to practice. As gaps are found and exams get closer – there may be 2 hour sessions with 15 minute break.
Update call or email with the parents will be done monthly.
